HID Global®, a provider of trusted identity solutions, announces it has added FIDO2 authentication to its Crescendo smart cards, enabling them to support the FIDO Alliance industry initiative focused on standards-based ‘password-less’ sign-in.
HID Global partnered with Microsoft on this effort. The company also expanded its Crescendo family with the Crescendo Key Series that brings the same FIDO2 authentication capabilities and other features of its advanced smart cards to workstations, laptops, tablets and ultra-books without requiring additional reader and driver software.
