Achieve passwordless, phishing-resistant authentication via FIDO2 on Java Card.

FIDO2 Applet

Key Features

  • Enables passwordless and multi-factor authentication with biometric or PIN verification
  • FIDO2 CTAP2.1 compliant, working across browsers and OS (via WebAuthn + CTAP)
  • Smartcard-based—no biometric or credential data leaves the secure element
  • Can co-reside with other Java Card applets on the same card
  • Compact, OEM-ready applet for enterprise or public sector deployments
  • GDPR and eIDAS compliant with strong European privacy safeguards

FIDO2 Authentication

What is FIDO2 Authentication?

FIDO2 is an open standard from the FIDO Alliance that enables passwordless login via public- key cryptography. It relies on WebAuthn (browser-side API) and CTAP (smartcard/device protocol) for secure authentication. With TrustSEC’s Java Card applet, keys never leave the card —ensuring decentralized and phishing-resistant credentials trustsec.net .

FAQ

FAQ

1- What is FIDO2?
A modern, passwordless login standard based on public-key cryptography, using WebAuthn and CTAP.
2- How do biometrics work on smartcards?
Fingerprint templates are stored and matched directly on the card; no sensitive data leaves the card surface
3- Can I run other apps on the card?
Yes. BIO - SLCOS + GlobalPlatform allow multiple independent applets (eID, PKI, payment, etc.
4- Why use Java Card?
It’s a proven, secure platform that ensures compatibility and multi-applet flexibility arXiv+2trustsec.net+2arXiv+2 .
5- What interfaces are supported?
USB, NFC, BLE—compatible across devices and major platforms.
