OneSpan DIGIPASS FX1 BIO for passwordless, phishing-resistant authentication

Protect your staff and secure data and applications from attacks with OneSpan (Vasco) latest FIDO authentication with fingerprint scanning. Find out all about it in this new blog post!

What is DIGIPASS FX1 BIO?

An FX1-BIO Digipass is a small hardware device made by OneSpan that provides two-factor authentication (2FA) and other security features. And can be used for various authentication purposes such as logging into websites or business applications, accessing VPNs and more.

It provides an extra layer of security by requiring not only something you know (such as a password), but also something you have (the physical Digipass) to access a system or service.

The key feature is passwordless biometric authentication using fingerprint recognition.

The advantages of DIGIPASS FX1 BIO

• Phishing-resistant: The biometric authentication and public key cryptography, reduces the risk associated with password-based security. Thus reducing the risk of data breaches.
• Ease of use: Seamless, flexible authentication across multiple devices and connectivity options (USB, Bluetooth, NFC), enabling work from anywhere
• Security: Use of public-key cryptography provides additional protection against attacks. Advanced phishing-resistant technology protects each user from the most sophisticated attacks.
• Compliance: Designed to meet GDPR and HIPAA compliance requirements
• Increased efficiency: Reduces operational and development costs, integrates easily with industry standards and requires no additional software installation.

Challenges and solutions

Challenge 1: User-friendly authentication

• Need: Employees need a secure yet easy-to-use solution.
• Solution: DIGIPASS FX1 BIO provides a streamlined, efficient authentication process with passwordless, biometric authentication.

Challenge 2: Consistent security protocols.

• Need: Maintain security across multiple devices.
• Solution: DIGIPASS FX1 BIO provides a universal authentication solution that works across platforms.

Challenge 3: Vulnerability of one-time passwords.

• Need: More secure alternative to traditional MFA methods.
• Solution: DIGIPASS FX1 BIO offers phishing-resistant technology with biometric authentication and public-key cryptography.

FIDO-authentication

FIDO authentication, a passwordless authentication standard, is at the core of DIGIPASS FX1 BIO. FIDO technology adapts to emerging technologies and works with a wide range of platforms and services.

1. Registration: Generation of a public/private key pair for secure authentication.
2. Authentication: Use of biometric data or hardware security key for authentication.
3. Verification: Service provider verifies cryptographic signature for access.

DIGIPASS FX1 BIO is not only a technological innovation, but also a response to the growing need for secure, easy-to-use authentication solutions. With its emphasis on phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication and compatibility with FIDO, it provides a future-proof solution for the security needs of organizations worldwide.
