USB Certificate Authentication in Veridium Authenticator
Building upon the 3.6.1 Certificate Authentication in Veridium Authenticator mobile app, in 3.7 we added support for Security Key access through USB / Lightning port on mobile devices.
Feature description
Additional to the NFC support already present, the mobile application was updated to support certificate authentication using security keys connected on a USB or Lightning port (Android and iOS). This allows users to plug in their security keys and perform authentications on their phones. UI has guidance instructions to facilitate user interaction during the authentication process.
Note that the “Authentication” certificate slot from the key is automatically preferred if it has a certificate bound to it with the expected CA. If the slot is empty or with an unexpected CA, the rest of the slots' certificates are displayed, if present.
