Samsung Joins FIDO Alliance, Creates FIDO-ready Galaxy S5
FIDO is meant to boost interoperability among strong authentication devices and eliminate the need for multiple usernames and passwords. The specifications define an open, scalable, interoperable set of mechanisms that supplant reliance on passwords to securely authenticate users of online services. Security devices and browser plugins will allow any website or cloud application to interface with a broad variety of existing and future FIDO-enabled devices that the user has for online security, wrapping in biometrics, TPM and other technologies.
