Connect the Dots: FIDO Adoption on US Government Mobile Devices

Day 1, 3:30 - 5:30 pm
Help us identify the enterprise use cases and challenges to FIDO adoption (including passkeys) on mobile devices. In a birds-of-a-feather discussion roundtable, we will pick a use case and discuss and identify potential risks and mitigations. Please help us identify the remaining technical blockers to meet NIST 800-63-3 Authentication Assurance Levels.

Speaker - Dr. Kenneth Myers; Director, Identity Assurance and Trusted Access Division @ U.S. General Services Administration Office of Government-wide Policy

So, What Does the U.S. Government Think About FIDO Authentication?

Day 2, 2:!5 - 3:00 pm
From a White House policy calling for the use of phishing-resistant authentication to new draft NIST guidance recognizing synced passkeys, the US government is embracing FIDO authentication to address a number of enterprise and consumer use cases. This panel will explore how policymakers, regulators, and agency implementers are all thinking about FIDO.
