RE: Solutions to the NASCAR problem?

Hi again!

FIDO doesn't do identity management, but authentication, as was already stated. To that matter FIDO, as it is, does not explicitly support free assignments of AuthN tokens (or even token generators) to one or multiple identities.

I guess, the protocol could be enhanced to allow more control through the user than just confirming or not in the future. Alternatively, we could assume multiple FIDO tokens being available and being individually assigned to identities. Virtualization of FIDO tokens would seem a good topic to solve the problem early on.

Cheers,
 Jörg

Indeed.

Fully implemented as well!

There is no public information about FIDO solving the NASCAR problem:

Do you have any other information to share with us?
