Google announced the first FIDO2 security key implementation that should be immune to quantum attacks on Tuesday.
The field of quantum computing has advanced significantly in recent years, and tech behemoths are placing more and more emphasis on quantum security. The main issue relates to encryption; quantum-resilient cryptography is required because current cryptography cannot shield data from quantum attacks.
A hybrid signature scheme combining traditional elliptic-curve cryptography (more specifically, ECDSA) and CRYSTALS-Dilithium, a quantum scheme that NIST recently standardized, saying it offers “strong security and excellent performance,” has been developed by Google in collaboration with the Swiss university ETH Zurich.
