This study investigates the suitability of the blockchain and FIDO among non-face-to-face authentication means in order to secure diversity of identfication means operated in South Korea. In order to do this, the study selected and analyzed seven conformance criteria (universality, persistence, uniqueness, convenience, security, applicability, and economics), and the results were appropriate. Accordingly, in order to apply the blockchain and FIDO as the identification means, the related regulations and notices should be revised to improve the identification procedure. In addition, differentiated certification standards should be established for each service field to apply various authentication means as well as existing identification means, and the authentication means should be continuously developed and linked with the service. In the future, the identification means will bring security of the information circulation environment in the IoT, so it should be implemented in a variety of services by supporting application of identification means.
