VocalTec Communications Limited and NetTalk Incorporated are two of the leading providers of this service. The VoIP based telephone service providers use high speed broadband connection to provide service to customers. The high cost of maintaining a landline phone is responsible for this sudden shift in the attitude of the customers. Throughout the last decade or so, there has been an ever increasing trend of customers opting for low cost VoIP based telephone service providers instead of the conventional landline telephone. The new and improved version of MagicJack Plus has emerged as the strongest competitor of NetTalk Duo in the recent months. The client then will display all of the credentials to the user and user will pick one, thus returning selected credential to the relying party.A Comparison Between MagicJack Plus and NetTalk Duo With RK you don’t need it because the authentication will locate all RK's (only RK credentials), and for each of them generate the assertion over the challenge and return all of them to the client. When not using RK you will have to provide a list of the credentials (array of ID's) you want the authenticator to use. The resident credential is a credential that can be accessed simply with RP ID. This can be done either via PIN code, biometrics or other factors that securely verifies that it's the expected human in front of the device, not just any human. User VerificationĪ FIDO2 server (a.k.a the Relying Party, RP) can ask the authenticator to verify the user. It's the server that runs the fido2-net-lib library. If you are a developer reading this, the Relying Party is probably your webserver. The Relying Party - often called RP - is the server that the browser communicates with. WebAuthn is the JS API that allows browser to talk to the operating system to generate assertions and CTAP2 is the API that allows the operating system to talk to Authenticators (usb security keys etc) Relying Party (RP) The following chapter will explain some of the concepts mentioned in the 3 scenarios Fido2 vs WebAuthn?įido2 is the umbrella term and branding of two new w3c standards: WebAuthn and CTAP2. This brings many benefits, such as easier and safer logins and makes phishing attempts extremely hard.Īttestation API & verification (Register and verify credentials/authenticators)Īssertion API & verification (Authenticate users)ġ00% pass rate in conformance testing (results)įIDO2 security keys aka roaming authenticators, like SoloKeys Solo, Yubico YubiKey, and Feitian BioPass FIDO2)ĭevice embedded authenticators aka platform authenticators, like Android Key and TPM)īackwards compatibility with FIDO U2F authenticatorsĪll currently referenced cryptographic algorithms for FIDO2 ServerĪll current attestation formats: "packed", "tpm", "android-key", "android-safetynet", "fido-u2f", and "none"įIDO2 Server attestation validation via FIDO Metadata Service The technology builds on public/private keys, allowing authentication to happen without sharing a secret between the user & platform. The standard is not limited to web applications with support coming to Active Directory and native apps. The main driver is to allow a user to login without passwords, creating passwordless flows or strong MFA for user signup/login on websites. FIDO2 / WebAuthn is a new open authentication standard, supported by browsers and many large tech companies such as Microsoft, Google etc.
