Google announces new algorithm that makes FIDO encryption safe from quantum computers
Quantum-resistant encryption for FIDO2 security keys.
Key points:
- FIDO2 industry standard provides a secure way to log in without passwords and has built-in two-factor authentication.
- Quantum computing poses a threat to the cryptography used in FIDO, leading to the need for post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
- Researchers from Google have developed the first implementation of quantum-resistant encryption for FIDO2 security keys.
