FEITIAN OTP Token and Security Key Differences
The main differences between FEITIAN OTP hardware tokens and FIDO U2F Security keys are
FIDO U2F Security Key
- The USB device protects the user’s private keys with a tamper-resistant component known as a secure element (SE)
- Security Key authenticators don’t require any special drivers
- Users can easily enroll their own devices with Duo’s service
- Only supported by Duo integrations that use the Duo Prompt
- A Security Key’s real-time challenge-response protocol protects against phishing attacks
OTP Hardware Tokens
- Wide range of compatibility with any broswer or application
- Must be managed by Duo administrators as hardware tokens
- Can be used with append mode and the Duo Authentication Proxy
- OTP codes can still be phished to an adversary (known as man-in-the-middle/man-in-the-browser attacks)
