This whitepaper discusses the implementation of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for Futurex Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) using FIDO2 Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) USB tokens. Managed by the FIDO Alliance, U2F enhances security beyond traditional username and password by requiring a physical token as a second factor. Futurex HSMs support this industry-leading authentication method, strengthening access controls and protecting sensitive cryptographic operations. Integrating FIDO2 U2F tokens with Futurex HSMs helps organizations safeguard critical assets with robust, user-friendly, and compliant authentication solutions.
