SAML single sign-on (SSO) allows the end-user to securely authenticate across multiple applications by logging in once using one set of credentials. However, authentication is only the first half of the story.

Companies with multiple systems that each require users to login and manage different accounts have an increased cost of ownership. Single sign-on solutions provide a reduced cost of ownership. There are many out there but which one is best for you?

Rock Solid Knowledge is pleased to announce that their FIDO2 for ASP.NET component has now achieved FIDO2 certification from the FIDO Alliance.

Evilginx is a tool that allows you to create phishing websites capable of stealing credentials and session cookies despite the use of common 2FA mechanisms such as TOTP and push notifications. The only way to truly protect your users from this kind of phishing attack is using FIDO.

Microsoft released ASP.NET Core 3.0 a few weeks ago, which means breaking changes for everyone!

FIDO2 offers a replacement for passwords in the form of frictionless, possession-based authentication. Thanks to our newest component, FIDO2 for ASP.NET Core, this is now something Rock Solid Knowledge can help you with.
