Product Description
The OFFPAD and OFFPAD+ are FIDO2 security keys leveraging fingerprint biometrics to optimize the balance between security and convenience.
FIDO2 is a global and standardized authentication process supported by major industry players such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung, offering the gold standard of authentication.
FIDO2 replaces password-based authentication and traditional Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with public key cryptography. FIDO2 enables users to leverage common devices to easily authenticate to online services in both mobile and desktop environments.
PONE Biometrics takes your privacy seriously. Your biometrics are encrypted and stored securely on the FIDO2 security key. Your biometrics are never shared outside the device. As a user, you own your biometrics.
The OFFPAD and OFFPAD+ embeds a long-lifetime battery. Your device is always ready to be used and can be quickly recharged with a simple wireless charger. Through the card holder the OFFPAD+ also enables charging through a USB cable.
Features
The features supported by the OFFPAD is defined in the FIDO2 specification. The FIDO2 specification is a set of standards for strong authentication developed by the FIDO Alliance (Fast IDentity Online) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). FIDO2 aims to enable secure, passwordless authentication and is a more advanced version of the original FIDO (Fast Identity Online) standards.
More details about the features supported by OFFPAD and OFFPAD+ can be found in the Feature Guide.
Connectivity
The OFFPAD communicates with devices by using Near Field Communication (NFC) or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). In addition the OFFPAD+ enables USB connectivity through the specially designed card holder. More information on how to connect the OFFPAD and OFFPAD+ to a device can be found in the Usage Guide.
Biometrics
The OFFPAD and OFFPAD+ is built with a fingerprint biometrics sensor to deliver an optimal user experience. The off-chip capacitive sensor separates the fingerprint sensing elements from the chip that acquires the image and processes the biometric data. This ingenious design ensures excellent security, significantly higher image fidelity, superb noise immunity, and market-leading usability under real-world conditions. This sensor is bendable and durable facilitating a long life of the device. Thanks to ultra-low power consumption, battery life is optimized. The superior level of security and excellent image fidelity provides outstanding biometrics and user performance.
Display
The OFFPAD and OFFPAD+ has an E Ink display, short for electronic ink, a type of screen technology designed to mimic the appearance of ink on paper. Unlike traditional LCD or OLED screens, E Ink displays don’t emit light directly. Instead, they use tiny capsules filled with charged black and white particles that move when an electric field is applied, creating text and images on the screen.
The E Ink display has been added to improve the customer experience. You always know what you are authenticating to and you can follow the fingerprint enrolment steps in a convenient way.
Battery
To provide you with the best autonomy possible, there is a battery embedded in our FIDO2 Security keys. The Li-ion rechargeable battery specially designed to offer high heat resistance, safety (high reliability), high output, and long lifetime.
The battery is charged using the open interface standard defining wireless power transfer via inductive charging: Qi. This standard has been developed by the Wireless Power Consortium and is supported by all electronic device manufacturers such as Apple, Asus, Google, Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, and Sony. Any charging pad supporting Qi can be used.
The OFFPAD+ also supports charging through a USB cable.
