Using Infineon’s FIDO Certified™ USB Token reference design,GOTrust Technology Inc.(Go-Trust®) has been able to validate their U2F (Universal 2nd Factor) authenticator at the U2F interoperability testing:GOTrust obtained the certification in one month – one third of the time it would require without Infineon’s reference design.

The U2F reference design has been tested with Google/Gmail and other U2F reference servers used in the interoperability tests.
