Google, Mastercard Aid FIDO Alliance Commerce Standards

The FIDO Alliance is developing new standards for AI-driven agentic commerce, focusing on secure authentication and transaction processes for user-authorized agents. This initiative builds upon the Alliance's existing work in replacing passwords with passkeys and advancing digital credentials. Google and Mastercard are contributing to this effort, aiming to establish trusted mechanisms for how AI agents will operate and conduct transactions on behalf of individuals. The goal is to create a more secure and standardized environment for future AI-powered commercial interactions.
