As the only technology backed by a persistent spoof bounty program and NIST/iBeta Certified Liveness Detection, FaceTec is the global standard for Liveness and 3D Face Matching with millions of users on six continents in financial services, border security, transportation, blockchain, e-voting, social networks, online dating and more. FaceTec’s 3D FaceMaps™ make trusted, remote identity verification finally possible. This app will become available on iOS “in the coming months,” Yubico says.įaceTec’s patented, industry-leading 3D Face Authentication software anchors digital identity, creating a chain of trust from user onboarding to ongoing authentication on all modern smart devices and webcams. Meanwhile, Yubico is also developing a new Yubico Authenticator app, which will be able to retrieve a six-digit, time-based code for two-factor authentication from connected YubiKey devices.
The device is slated for launch this winter. The YubiKey 5Ci was a breakthrough device in terms of bringing security key technology to the Apple ecosystem and in the wake of Apple’s new NFC support, the device could still prove essential for security-conscious users of older iPhone and iPad models.īut to better reflect the current state of affairs now that Apple has enabled support for NFC security keys, Yubico says it is developing a new YubiKey 5C NFC device that will once again feature a USB-C connector, but will rely on NFC technology to connect with Apple devices, eschewing a Lightning connector. The news comes soon after Yubico’s launch of its YubiKey 5Ci, a security key featuring the Lightning connector used in iOS and MacOS devices, as well as a USB-C connector allowing it to hook up with Android and Windows devices. The end result for Yubico, as the company notes in a new post on its website, is that its YubiKey 5 NFC and Security Key NFC solutions can now be used with iPhone models 7 or later running on iOS 13. Previously, Apple’s iOS mobile operating system supported NFC communications on a read-only basis but now, it supports the read-and-write capabilities that are required for advanced authentication protocols like FIDO2 and FIDO U2F. The change was announced alongside Apple’s big product launches last week, with the company opening up somewhat from its usual closed-ecosystem attitude. Yubico’s NFC-enabled security keys can now be used for contactless authentication with newer iPhones.
