How the FIDO Alliance is
Solving the IoT Onboarding
Challenge

5. © FIDO Alliance 2021
The FIDO Alliance brings together the world’s leading
technology companies to develop and promote the adoption
of a standardized, simpler, and more secure online experience
that installs trust and confidence in a digital world.

The Onboarding Challenge
9
• Wide variety of IOT devices – hardware and Operating Systems
• Most devices headless (i.e. don’t have displays)
• Different connectivity – wired / wireless
• Manual installation adds cost and time to IOT deployments, impacting program ROI
• Manual installation requires trusted and skilled staff

10. © FIDO Alliance 2021
Onboarding solutions exist today, but don’t fully meet the needs of the industry
• Manual onboarding
• Slow
• Insecure
• Expensive
• Proprietary ‘zero touch’
• Linked to one cloud/platform
• Only one silicon provider
• Require programming of target platform/cloud/user at manufacture

The FIDO Alliance launched
the IoT Technical Working
Group (IoT TWG) in June
2019 - members include
leading Cloud Service
Providers, semiconductor
manufacturers, security
specialists and OEMs.
The IoT TWG analyzed
multiple use cases, target
architectures and
specifications to develop as
clear set of requirements.
Intel contributed their
Secure Device Onboard
specification, which served
as the starting point for
FIDO’s IoT work - the TWG
modified and extended the
initial specification to meet
the defined requirements.
FIDO’s Approach to Secure IoT

Fast, Scalable Device Provisioning, Onboarding &
Activation
12
Drop ship device to
installation location
Power-up & connect
to Network
Auto-provisions, Onboards
to Cloud
BENEFITS1
• Zero touch onboarding – integrates readily with existing zero touch solutions
• Fast & more secure1 – ~1 minute
• Hardware flexibility – any hardware (from ARM MCU to Intel® Xeon® processors)
• Any cloud – internet & on-premise
• Late binding - of device to cloud greatly reduces number of SKUs vs. other zero touch
offerings
• Open - LF-Edge SDO project up and running, code now on GitHub

Zero Touch without FDO
IoT device software and security
customization happens during
manufacturing
Result:
Complicated build-to-order
manufacturing infrastructure,
many SKUs, small lot sizes, long
lead times, higher cost
Zero Touch with FDO
IoT device software and
security customization
happens at the end of the
supply chain
Benefits:
Simplified build-to-plan
manufacturing infrastructure,
fewer SKUs, large lot sizes,
enable stocking distributors,
low customization cost
Result: Increased supply chain
volume and velocity
IoT Device Supply Chain
Single SKU
Late binding reduces costs & complexity in supply chain – a single device SKU for all customers

Use cases where FIDO IOT delivers maximum value
• Industrial and Enterprise devices:
Gateways, servers, sensors, actuators, control systems, medical, etc.
• Multi-ecosystem applications and services:
not tied to specific cloud/platform framework
• Distributor sales:
deliver from stock, specify binding info after sale to customer
• Device resale / redeploy:
reset to factory conditions repeat onboarding process with new credentials

FDO/SDO: LF-Edge project & Open Source
17
The LF Edge Project is an open source implementation of the FDO
onboarding specification as a reference/gold implementation.
https://www.lfedge.org/projects/securedeviceonboard/
 Status
• LF Edge accepted Secure Device Onboard as a Phase 1 (At Large) project
• Project now active on LF-Edge web site.
• Code now Open Source https://github.com/secure-device-onboard
• Protocol testing release of FDO RD01; production release of FDO 1.0 2H21

18. © FIDO Alliance 2021
Drive industry adoption by building broad industry support across End
users, OEMs, ODMs, silicon partners, etc.
Launch FDO certification programs later this year.
• Functional certification testing
• Security certification testing
Continue work on v.next based on implementation feedback and to
address additional requirements
Goals for 2021
18

19. © FIDO Alliance 2021
o FIDO has an established security certification program for existing FIDO
authenticator specifications (UAF, U2F, FIDO 2.0/Webauthn)
o Levels that correspond to achievable security assurance
o L1 – Based on vendor questionnaire
o SW authenticators, e.g. from an app store
o L2 – Design documentation submitted by vendor and assessed by 3rd-party certification lab
o Authenticators developed in a trusted SW environment
o L3 – Sample device submitted to 3rd-party lab for verification of design and additional
penetration testing
o Authenticators instantiated in a secure element
Certification and Security
19

20. © FIDO Alliance 2021
o Multiple security certification levels also appropriate for IoT devices, given
large scope of achievable levels of security assurance
o Simple devices with
o Limited crypto capabilities
o No isolation of HW/SW required for security functionality
o More complex devices
o Advanced crypto capabilities (comparable to smartphones or PC’s)
o Isolation of security-impacting SW
o Special purpose HW for all secure operations related to onboarding
Certification (cont.)
20

21. © FIDO Alliance 2021
o FIDO is developing interoperability and security certification programs
o Anticipated rollout before end of year, 2021
o FIDO security certification will be assessed against regional regulatory
requirements
o Existing FIDO security certification leverages ‘companion’ programs
o e.g Common Criteria Protection Profiles
o FIDO expects to leverage existing IoT security certification programs as potential companion
programs
