Combined Session
Wednesday, May 06, 2015 15:30—16:30
Location: AMMERSEE I

"Death of the Password" announcements have been around for a decade or more, but none of them have come true. The FIDO Alliance (Fast Identity Online), founded in 2012, with a member list reading like the Internet Who-isWho, has been gaining so mcuch traction with its proposed standard security protocol, that this time chances are great that the password based authentication will be killed. In this session we will talk about the concept behind the FIDO protocol and understand the benefits the FIDO standard can create inside and outside the enterprise.
