Privacy Concerns in FortiAuthenticator Mobile Token Registration

When FortiAuthenticator provides mobile token registration, it connects to FortiGuard to offer users the service of token registration. What data is included in the upload when FortiAuthenticator connects to FortiGuard to provide registration service? Are there any personal or privacy-related concerns?

Hello Bruce Liu,


When FortiAuthenticator connects to FortiGuard for mobile token registration, it does not transmit any personal or private data.  FortiAuthenticator communicates with FortiGuard using secure protocols and establishes an encrypted connection to ensure the confidentiality of the data transmitted. The communication primarily involves technical information related to the mobile token and the FortiAuthenticator instance.

 

No personal user data, such as usernames, passwords, or any other sensitive information, is transmitted to FortiGuard during the mobile token registration process. The primary purpose of the connection to FortiGuard is to ensure the integrity and security of the registration process.


Hope the below document guide helps:
