Security teams
Teams evaluating hardware-backed authentication for stronger access control.
Secure identity hardware
Product development
CanoKey
A hardware security key direction for teams that need stronger login, signing, credential protection, and developer access control.
Overview
Use a hardware key to make account and developer access harder to compromise.
CanoKey work helps teams evaluate passwordless login, signing, secure key storage, host compatibility, and developer tooling before choosing an authentication approach.
Target users
For teams protecting accounts, signing keys, and developer access.
Developers
Users who need portable signing, SSH/GPG workflows, and cryptographic tooling.
Product integrators
Teams adding security-key workflows to applications, platforms, or device ecosystems.
Use cases
Use it where passwords or software-only keys are not enough.
- FIDO2/WebAuthn and U2F-oriented login flows.
- Developer credential protection for SSH and GPG signing.
- Enterprise MFA and user-presence operations.
- Cryptographic application integration and test utilities.
What you can decide
What security teams can decide before choosing an authentication device.
Login compatibility
Assess how the device can fit browser, operating-system, and application security-key flows.
Protected key use
Review on-device key storage, user-presence behavior, signing workflows, and developer integration needs.
