FIDO Certification Programs | FIDO Alliance

Introduction

FIDO’s certification programs are critical in ensuring an interoperable ecosystem of products and services organizations can leverage to deploy FIDO Authentication solutions worldwide. The FIDO Alliance offers three certification programs for its core specifications: User Authentication (FIDO2, UAF and FDO), biometric components, and identity verification technologies. These certifications promote security and interoperability throughout account lifecycles.

Benefits of FIDO Certification Programs

FIDO certification brings benefits to vendors, deploying organizations and end users alike.   For vendors, achieving FIDO certification validates to customers the integrity of their product in that it adheres to the FIDO specifications and/or global requirements. 

Certification also best-positions these vendors to respond to the growing number of RFPs that list FIDO certification as a requirement for bid submission. Authenticator vendors can further differentiate themselves from competitors by certifying the security characteristics of their implementations, which is reflected in corresponding certification marks at one of three levels.

For deploying organizations, FIDO certification programs enable them to select best-of-breed authentication solutions, biometrics and remote identity proofing solutions that have been proven to adhere to globally recognized requirements, saving them the time and costs associated with 1-1 vendor evaluations.

FIDO Alliance actively promotes members with FIDO Certified product offerings, through unique opportunities to showcase FIDO Certified solutions at conferences, seminars and through the FIDO Certified Showcase.

The FIDO Certified program is open to members and non-members alike. Please note: FIDO Alliance members receive certification testing discounts, in addition to members-only co-marketing opportunities.
