Title: Passkey Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:passkey URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passkey Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT A passkey, also known as security key, is a pair of cryptographic keys that is generated by a user's authenticator linked to an account to authenticate a user's identity against a remote application or system by using public-key cryptography, thus avoiding the need to reveal the secret key held by the user through public channels. The current popular implementation of passkeys for general public usage in web technologies is proposed by FIDO Alliance and standardised by the World Wide Web Consortium under the WebAuthn standard, and “passkey” is the de-facto non-technical term used to refer to WebAuthn credentials.
