About The FIDO Alliance
The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance, www.fidoalliance.org,
was formed in July 2012 to address the lack of interoperability
among strong authentication technologies, and remedy the problems
users face with creating and remembering multiple usernames and
passwords. The Alliance plans to change the nature of
authentication by developing standards-based specifications for
simpler, stronger authentication that define an open, scalable,
interoperable set of mechanisms that reduce reliance on passwords.
FIDO authentication is stronger, private, and easier to use when
authenticating to online services.

organizations: ARM Holdings plc (LSE: ARM and NASDAQ: ARMH); Bank
