FIDELIO+

FIDELIO++ is designed for experienced users and developers seeking a robust solution for integrating advanced authentication protocols with German ID cards. This app combines the classic online functionality of the German ID card with the FIDO U2F authentication protocol. Users can rely on FIDELIO++ for a secure and private authentication process since only the pseudonym is used for key derivation, and no personal data is extracted during this process.

Optimized Functionality

FIDELIO++ enhances the security landscape by enabling the use of FIDO U2F and USB OTG with various devices, including phones and tablets. The app works seamlessly with U2F-compatible websites when used alongside popular browsers like Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Its integration with FIDO U2F tokens via NFC and Bluetooth ensures fast and secure user verification while supporting the central blocking hotline for loss or theft mitigation. Remember to keep the NFC function active before using this app for optimal performance.

Technical Considerations

While FIDELIO++ provides extensive capabilities, users need to be aware of the hardware requirements. The NFC functionality is essential and must be switched on, although some compatibility issues may arise with certain NFC chips and ID batches. Be mindful of potential interference from metallic objects and certain card types which may affect NFC performance. Ensure your ID card or residence permit is in excellent condition to maintain seamless operation.

Security Benefits

The integration with German ID cards and the FIDO protocol offers enhanced security with holder verification through the eID-PIN. This added layer of security mitigates risks and simplifies processes for users who incorporate FIDELIO+ into their authentication systems.
