Learn about device onboarding and the benefits of FDO, including acceleration of Edge and IoT provisioning at scale using FDO specifications. Use the FIDO Device Onboard resources below to start your journey to deploying FDO solutions for next-generation device onboarding.
FIDO Bare Metal Onboarding
Extending FDO to late-bind a device’s complete software stack
Learn more about the FIDO Device Onboard (FDO) specification which offers an automatic onboarding protocol for edge nodes, data center servers and IoT devices.
Explore the FDO Standard
Onboarding the Future: Edge Deployment with FDO for Zero-Trust Device Onboarding
Learn why IoT device onboarding is a critical risk in today’s industrial and commercial manufacturing facilities, and how the FIDO Device Onboard standards can help Operations and Security leaders avoid supply chain security risks with zero-touch, zero-trust IoT device onboarding.
Technical Resources
FIDO Device Onboard: The Device Key
This white paper builds on the FDO specification to describe various techniques for securely storing the device key, which is used in FDO for attesting the security posture of the device. Learn about common mechanisms used to store and access device keys, and how they apply to FDO.
IoT Application Provisioning for Security Using FDO and TPM
Using the FDO standard for automatic onboarding can accelerate IoT and edge node deployments and enable a more efficient manufacturing supply chain. Learn more about how FDO and TPM can be used together for IoT application provisioning to further enhance security and convenience in device onboarding.
