Google's Quantum-Resilient FIDO2 Key Implementation Ensures Data Security
Google has released the first open-source quantum-resilient FIDO2 security key implementation, using a unique ECC/Dilithium hybrid signature schema. As quantum computing advances, traditional public key cryptography becomes vulnerable to quantum attacks. To address this, Google combined the ECDSA algorithm with the Dilithium algorithm to create a hybrid signature approach. The implementation, developed by Google engineers, is compact and high-performing, making it suitable for security keys. Google hopes that this proposal will become a new standard supported by major web browsers, emphasizing the need for next-gen cryptography at an internet scale.
