March 2015 by Marc Jacob
The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance is a non-profit organization created by the giants of Internet to simplify and to strengthen the management and the security of the login + passwords by strong authentication technologies based on digital certificates. Neowave is member of the FIDO Alliance.
Based on the FIDO Alliance final specifications 1.0, Neowave launches Keydo, a new FIDO U2F security Key. Keydo has received the FIDO U2F ready approval.
Keydo is powered by a certified common criteria EAL5+ secure microcontroller from INSIDE Secure.
Keydo is filling the gap of ergonomics, performances, robustness, security and price requested by users and Internet Services Providers: cloud, financials services, on-line gaming, insurances, etc.
Keydo is already compatible with all the Google services (Gmail, Google Apps, Google for Work,…) and can immediately be used by all these users (validation in two steps).
Keydo products are available from the NEOWAVE Web site at: www.neowave.fr/shop/ or from the NEOWAVE’s partners.
“We do believe FIDO standard is very promising and will be adopted massively. This product completes our range and will allow us to reinforce our position on this market of the strong authentication. The collaboration between Neowave and INSIDE Secure teams was very efficient and constructive” said Bruno Bernard, Neowave’s CEO.
“INSIDE Secure microcontrollers are widely deployed on a large field of applications. We are pleased that INSIDE Secure solution has been selected by Neowave for their Keydo product. The collaboration between teams has been fruitful thanks to Neowave strong knowledge on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and strong authentication technologies.” said Bernard Vian, Executive Vice-President, Secure Transaction division at INSIDE Secure.
