Support for F2IDO applications
SECORA ID Online Identity Verification Solution
Based on the FIDO standard, the latest member of Infineon's SECORA ID product family will provide security for digital authentication . The solution uses open industry standards to provide a simple, reliable and secure method for implementing online authentication. FIDO applications can also be used in conjunction with electronic ID (eID) applications to allow citizens to complete authoritative authentication when logging into government portals and access government services. The security chip used in the SECORA ID solution and its own Java Card™ operating system have been certified to EAL6+. As a FIDO-certified roaming authenticator, it supports the CTAP2 protocol and can achieve two-factor authentication and multi-factor authentication through NFC. This product has a wide range of uses and can be used as a standalone general-purpose product or in conjunction with applications such as eMRTD (electronic machine-readable travel documents), covering different application scenarios in various market fields such as consumer electronics, enterprises and e-government.
Through SECORA Blockchain solution
Securely connect to the blockchain
In many application scenarios in industries such as logistics, automotive and energy, blockchain technology helps track supply chains, protect brands, prove asset ownership and manage contracts. In order to securely add transaction data to the blockchain, users usually need a private key that must be kept in a secure area. This "vault" for storing private keys can be implemented through the security chip of the SECORA Blockchain solution to provide privacy protection and access control for the blockchain. At the 2021 French Smart Card Exhibition, Infineon demonstrated its SECORA Blockchain solution. By integrating the SECORA Blockchain chip into the product, it can be connected to the blockchain to verify the authenticity of the product, thereby protecting the brand.
