Abstract
With the popularity of mobile phones and tablets, more and more people surf the Internet with mobile devices. When users log in a website, in contrast to using traditional PCs, typing the password is very troublesome on mobile phones. However, the most commonly used authentication is still password-based. Thus, users usually record their password on browsers or apps after the first login. These security issues become apparent on mobile devices. Apart from using ”password”, there are several authentication solutions with higher security. For example, adding one-time password or hardware token for two-factor authentication are good choices. Most of those solutions are not adopted because of the cumbersome steps. FIDO Alliance is formed to address the problems of password and authentication. They develop specification of password-less solution. With biometric device, the ecosystem oflogin is secure and convenient. Users only need to pass identity verification,then they can successfully log in. There are few open resources related to standard published by FIDO except to the official documents. In this thesis, we implement the client part sothat more people can refer to it and pay attention to this issue.
