Yubico has joined FIDO Alliance as a board member, and will be a part of the Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) working group that Google is creating  focusing on open authentication standards work for strong, universal second-factor devices.

The U2F working group will continue the work that was presented earlier this year in an IEEE paper and Wired, based on the technical specifications that jave now been successfully proven with thousands of YubiKey NEOs and users. By end of the year we expect more than 200,000 U2F protocol compliant YubiKey NEOs being deployed within Google and elsewhere.

U2F will be available as a stand-alone offering, and the working group will also collaborate closely with the already existing FIDO UAF Technical working group, to ensure harmonization of specifications. UAF aims to create a web eco-system including a broader range of authentication methods, including biometrics.
