SECORA ID V2 Platform Enables FIDO Level 3+ Secured Authentication
Addressing security vulnerabilities across industries, secured authentication is critical for safeguarding digital identities. On this front, Infineon Technologies recently released the first FIDO CTAP2.1 Authenticator Level 3+ certificates on the company's SECORA ID V2 platform. Part of Infineon’s applet collection, the FIDO applet runs on the SECORA ID V2 platform, the same base as Eviden’s Level 3+ certified cryptovision ePasslet Suite.
Both solutions offer robust protection against physical and software-based attacks. They safeguard private keys with strong security measures while enabling future-ready protocol compliance and enhanced manageability.
The highest level of security for FIDO Authenticator Certification, Level 3+ protects against advanced software and hardware attacks, including invasive, side-channel, and fault-injection attacks. Chip-level protection makes private key extraction or physical tampering extremely difficult.
In addition, Level 3+ certified devices offer strong resistance to tampering and phishing, securing private keys even if endpoints are compromised.
Eviden's Common Criteria EAL 5+ certified cryptovision ePasslet Suite has been extended by the Level 3+ certified FIDO authenticator application, based on the SECORA ID V2 platform. This opens the door to top security level for convenient authentication.
SECORA ID V2 is built on Infineon's advanced 40-nm SLC38 security controller, offering high performance and robust security, a versatile platform for use cases such as eID documents, digital signatures, online authentication, and multi-applications. Features include an Arm SecurCore SC300 processor and match-on-card capabilities. The product complies with high-security standards like Common Criteria EAL 6+ and includes tools for streamlined integration and customization.
