Passkeys

The rise of deepfake attacks has caused alarm across various industries, particularly in biometrics, as criminals increasingly exploit AI technology to perpetrate fraud.

Unlike traditional methods where personal information may be part of the authentication process, the passkey remains distinctly focused on validating possession of a cryptographic key or biometric data, and not on an actual device.

A successful adoption of passkeys requires considering the larger product to ensure a smooth user experience as well as a secure design.

This article focuses on some technical aspects of implementing a passkey authentication mechanism.

In this article, we’ll introduce the technology behind passkeys, so you can start taking advantage of them. In future articles, we’ll go into more technical depth on implementing passkeys in your organization.‍
