Thank you, Alicia.
So you're right.
The FIDO Alliance is an association.
We're a member-driven organization.
We have more than 250 members and we have a common goal.
And it is a very focused and maybe audacious mission when you think about it to get rid of this dependency on passwords that we have.
Because our use of passwords is really the reason why we see so much successful phishing attacks and account takeovers.
Literally every data breach that we've had over the past 10 years when you see the headlines is a result of often just the loss of a password.
It's only getting worse now as generative AI has made these kinds of attacks so much easier to perpetuate.
And it's audacious because passwords are built into the fabric of the internet.
We all have used them.
We have used them since the internet really was invented.
We're trying to change that fabric with something that's fundamentally stronger and easier, and that's pass keys.
So thank you for your question.
We do three things to achieve this mission as an industry body.
The primary thing that we do is we build and publish open specifications for phishing resistant user authentication.
And that's where, you know, that's the backbone of Passkeys.
We also have specs for secure device onboarding, which is the other piece of authentication, you know, when you have devices coming into your network, for example.
We run certification programs to measure conformance and interoperability against those specifications.
And then we run market adoption programs to ensure widespread adoption of our technologies.
