Three central themes emerged from our PSD2 webinar last fall with Netcetera and the Aite Group, and we wanted to take a moment to go into a little more detail about Delegated Authentication, 3DS2, FIDO Authentication and the path to implementation.

In all of my years working in this industry, 2020 has been one of the most challenging ones.

In 1876, the first telephone call was made. The technological principles of the telegram – allowing for instantaneous communication over long distances – were deployed at a massive scale to allow for advanced, personal communication to be deployed in every home.

Passwordless authentication has finally come of age. The final piece of the puzzle is what is happening at Apple and their support of the various FIDO2 standards, including adding the Web Authn protocols to Safari running on iOS v14 devices.

A tragic milestone has been crossed this year. While, yes, the tragedies do seem to be manifold – one tragedy in particular stands out in our field. The first death linked directly to a cyber attack.

We have an opportunity. This year has radically accelerated a fundamental shift that has been going on for quite some time. A core component of our security architecture has been eliminated.

This month is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Let me be blunt. If you don’t think you are responsible for cybersecurity – you are wrong.

It is not a surprise to say that passwords are broken. They were not designed to secure today’s connected economy. As an inventor of FIDO standards, we knew that the key to replacing passwords was a privacy-by-design specification that championed interoperability and decentralized the security topography.

It’s been an exciting week as Apple has once again shown its commitment to stronger, standards-based authentication by adding support for Web Authentication Platform Authenticators to iOS, iPadOS, macOS and Safari. With browsers like Safari allowing their users to leverage Face ID or Touch ID based platform authenticators to log…

As we wrap up another year (and another decade), my thoughts are turning to 2020 and what we need to keep an eye out for next year as we put our plans together. 2019 has been one to remember from big data leaks like last week’s…
