Initiative for Open Authentication
The Initiative for Open Authentication ( OATH [ oʊθ ]) is a cross-industry initiative to develop an open reference architecture using open standards to promote the adoption of secure authentication options . The initiative has nearly thirty coordinating and contributing members and proposes standards for a variety of authentication technologies with the aim of reducing costs and making them easier to use.
Like the FIDO alliance , OATH is also working on two-factor authentication similar to the U2F .
'OATH' has nothing to do with ' OAuth ' , an open standard for secure API - Authorization to do.
