Subject: [pkcs11-comment] Microsoft joins FIDO => Key Container Attestations becomes mainstream

FIDO = U2F

"Microsoft joining Fido Alliance's Board is a key milestone to reaching the post UN/PW Authentication era of strong Authentication,"
said Sami Nassar vice president & general manager Authentication, NXP Semiconductors.

Google seems to have won the authentication [technology] war.
Essentially on "walkover" since the competition has been fully occupied exercising their eternal mantra, "We must leverage existing investments in software and systems".

Since Google didn't have much of a system before U2F, this was probably not an issue :-)


Stubborn as I am, I will continue my SKS/KeyGen2 effort until the U2F spec is public.  After that I will decide if there's anything left to do...

Cheers
Anders
