Eight months after the National Institute for Standards and Technologies urged government agencies to move from text messages to hardware solutions for two-step verification<\/a>, the obvious alternative \u2014 cheap but secure \u201cU2F\u201d (universal second factor<\/a>) USB keys \u2014 remains mostly absent from federal employee keychains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That may be disappointing but shouldn\u2019t be surprising. Although federal CIOs can push adoption of these cryptographically signed keys, they face the same obstacle as consumer platforms: limited browser support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first widespread federal U2F deployment launched in September<\/a> at the Veterans Administration Vets.gov<\/a> site. McLean, Va.-based ID.me<\/a> added this option in a suite of two-step verification methods including one-time codes delivered to phones and generated by mobile apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phone network is vulnerable to social-engineering attacks to get a carrier to transfer a number<\/a>, while moving authenticator apps to a new phone can be as tricky as configuring \u201ctwo-step\u201d from scratch. U2F keys, however, cost only $10 or so and function independent of telecom services and devices. A 2016 Google study<\/a> found them more efficient and faster than SMS and app verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at Vets.gov<\/a>, the most popular verification method so far remains text messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, the vast majority of users are selecting SMS as their 2FA option, as this is the option they are most familiar with,\u201d ID.me<\/a> chief marketing officer Julie Filion wrote in an e-mail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among vets who have opted to buy a U2F key, associate it with their account, and pop it into a computer\u2019s USB port (some also work with a mobile device\u2019s NFC wireless), ID.me<\/a> has at least avoided major tech-support burdens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vets choosing U2F keys \u201care typically already familiar with how to use them,\u201d Filion said. \u201cWe also note the browser limitation upfront.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Defense is researching a broader transformation of identity management, according to Federal News Radio<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s Chrome has supported U2F since the fall of 2014<\/a>, while Mozilla Firefox added U2F support this January<\/a>. Apple\u2019s Safari and Microsoft\u2019s Edge remain aloof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(An Apple PR rep said the company couldn\u2019t comment on future products. Microsoft did not answer requests for comment.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Wide Web consortium is now working to make this authentication an official standard, WebAuthn<\/a>. The head of a major U2F key vendor voiced optimism that this would coax broader support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe expect several major browsers\u2019 support to launch later this year,\u201d said Stina Ehrensvard, CEO of Yubico<\/a>, in an e-mail sent by a publicist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also pointed to an upcoming project to add U2F authentication to a single-sign-on system for first responders<\/a> as well as Yubico\u2019s application for certification under the government\u2019s FIPS 140-2 standard<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At NIST, the answer to increased U2F adoption is more time. Naomi Lefkovitz, a senior privacy policy adviser, noted in an e-mail sent by a publicist that agencies have a year to apply NIST guidance such as last summer\u2019s determination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That leaves the state of U2F support in government much as it is in the consumer space\u2014it works, but you probably don\u2019t use it. Or as a Forrester report<\/a> assessed matters last year, U2F is \u201cmature, albeit fragmented.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
