CTAP2.1 can bring benefits to Enterprises by using biometrics FIDO2 Hardware authenticator (comparing with in-bound authenticator or app):
- Enterprise attestation: it can enable better binding of ATKey.Pro to a user account, to assist the usage tracking for some purpose.
- Users can just do fingerprint enrollment to registered to the credentials, not always starting from PIN.
- Allow enforcing “user verification” instead of “user presence” in U2F/2FA scenarios to enhance the security.
- More formalized notions of the usage, for example, PIN or fingerprint authentication can do for a specific operation during the limited time period.
- ATKey.Pro can store additional data for assigned credentials to meet IT management demands.
- Allow defining prototype commands to process specific operations or settings, for example, doing fingerprint sensor re-calibration of ATKey.Pro.
Note: CTAP2.1 is available on ATKey.Pro firmware 2.00.00 or later.
