In a web posting by Microsoft titled ‘Passwordless authentication for Azure Active Directory’, GoTrustID Inc is listed as a FIDO2 security key provider that is known to provide a Windows 10 compatible passwordless experience with their IDEM Key.
GoTrustID IDEM Security Key.
This USB enabled Security Key is also NFC compatible and works as an integrated solution with all FIDO services. While there are many keys that are FIDO2 certified by the FIDO Alliance, Microsoft requires some extensions of the FIDO2 Client-to-Authenticator Protocol (CTAP) specification to be implemented by the vendor to ensure maximum security and the best experience. Approved security keys must implement the following features and extensions to the FIDO2 CTAP protocol to be Microsoft-compatible:
- Resident key feature; that enables the security key to be portable, with your credential stored on the security key.
- Client pin feature; that enables you to protect your credentials with a second factor and applies to security keys that do not have a user interface.
- Hmac- secret extension; that ensures you can sign in to your device when it’s off-line or in airplane mode.
- Multiple accounts feature; that ensures you can use the same security key across multiple services like Microsoft Account and Azure Active Directory.
The GoTrustID IDEM Security Key satisfies all these requirements and more. In addition to integrating with Microsoft Azure and Windows 10 the Plus Key version of this two-factor authentication tool seamlessly integrates with your existing security infrastructure and the FIDO2 WebAuth API is used to bridge PKI Signing without any middleware. This is a unique patent pending GoTrustID implementation.
