What Is the Feitian FIDO NFC Plus USB-A K9D?

1. FIDO Authentication Key
   • It’s certified for FIDO U2F and FIDO2 protocols, which are modern standards for two-factor authentication (2FA) and passwordless login.
   • These standards make it phishing-resistant by using public-key cryptography rather than just a shared code.
2. Dual Interface: USB-A + NFC
   • The device supports USB-A, so you can plug it into a standard USB port.
   • It also supports NFC, which means you can tap it on compatible phones or devices to authenticate.
3. Smart Card Secure Element
   • Inside the key is a secure element (smart card), running a JavaCard operating system, which securely handles cryptographic operations.
   • This provides a strong hardware root of trust.
4. Multiple Authentication Protocols
   • Supports OTP (both HOTP and TOTP), so it can act as a traditional one-time-password token.
   • PIV (Personal Identity Verification): Useful for government or enterprise systems requiring smart-card style access.
   • OpenPGP: You can use it for email encryption and digital signatures.
5. Strong Cryptographic Security
   • It’s FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified, with physical security at Level 3, which means it’s built to resist tampering.
   • Uses robust cryptographic algorithms (e.g., ECDSA, SHA-256) for secure key generation and verification.
6. Compatibility
   • Works across Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, iOS, and more.
   • Acts as a standard HID (Human Interface Device) when plugged in, making adoption easy.
7. Durability & Design
   • Compact, durable, water-resistant design (rated IP67 in some models) so it’s practical for everyday carry.
   • LED indicator and physical button/touch activation help prevent accidental use.

Why Use It?

• Phishing Protection: Because it uses FIDO’s public-key system, even if someone tricks you into going to a fake site, they can’t steal a reusable password.
• Multi-Use: One key can serve for many applications — web logins, encrypted email (via OpenPGP), secure smart-card login (via PIV).
• Portable & Flexible: You can use it with computers via USB, or with mobile devices using NFC.
• High Security: Certifications like FIPS and a secure element make it suitable for both personal and enterprise security.
