[Watch the FIDO Taipei Workshop Recap Video]
On April 24, 2024, the FIDO Alliance held its first ever in-person FDO Workshop at the Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica Nangang Campus in Taipei. The event attracted over 100 attendees from 30 different organizations. This workshop was dedicated to unveiling the power of the FIDO Device Onboard (FDO)—a revolutionary open standard that simplifies and secures the device onboarding process by moving away from legacy approaches that often rely on inefficient and insecure passwords and other knowledge-based credentials.
