FIDO alliance




Three modes of verification (called factors of authentication) are what-you-know, what-you-have and who-you-are. Canonical respective are password, key and bio-metric. A key can be private-public with private not extricable. Here, one may set (private-public) map such that knowing even half of maps has negligible effect on decoding the map. Then strong two factor security is possible without password. Its like a bank locker, you must be authorized to operate and have the key. No password is needed.

Indeed one may require biometric identity to even enable the key. It is like a lock opened only when many bankers insert the keys at once. Or two people enable launch of nuclear weapons. Collusion can be defeated so. Never in history of banking or nuclear weapons have securities been breached, always very close at best.

India has aadhaar. All phones starting 10 K cost ban have fingerprint readers. Iris-print readers have started and can be easily added to any mobile. Using aadhaar as base, very rich set of unhackable defenses can be built simply using what-you-have and who-you-are. The last is used to enter mobile bio-metrically. This 2 factor destroys all hacking, including extreme social engineering or theft/loss etc.

USA target is 2021. India can realistic by end 2017. Cash economy can be demolished. All the opposing emfubar, pretending to oppose only the evil effects can be permanently retired from public life. In most states in USA, felons are not allowed to vote or run. By law, opponents can be nailed! Even here, jailed can not vote but still run! Time to fix to permanently retire Sir Lalu!
