The FIDO (Fast Identity Online) Alliance has gained a new member in embedded security solutions company Elliptic Technologies. FIDO is an industry consortium bringing standards-based specifications for simpler, stronger authentication that define an open, scalable and interoperable set of mechanisms that reduce reliance on passwords providing easier authentication to online services. Elliptic offers a range of products and services including authentication and confidentiality, programmable root of trust, embedded security modules and hardware-enforced security for trusted execution environments (TEEs). With tVault technology, which integrates with various TEEs, Elliptic says that user-installed applications can run on a device’s main operating system, providing full features and access for users, while authentication secrets are protected in the TEE.
