FIDO logoThe FIDO Alliance has published this Public Review Draft for the FIDO2 Client to Authenticator Protocol (CTAP) specification, bringing the second version of FIDO2 one step closer to becoming a completed standard. While remaining compatible with the original standard, this second version adds additional features, among them for user verification enhancements, manageability, enterprise features, and an Apple attestation format.

This parallels the similar progress of the closely related second version of the W3C Web Authentication (WebAuthn) specification, which recently achieved Proposed Recommendation (PR) status.
