FIDO Alliance ensures long-term value of its specifications in post quantum era

Cryptography plays a fundamental role in securing data within computer systems, particularly those involving biometric technologies. It ensures that confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of sensitive data, whether it’s processed locally at the edge or sent to cloud servers for further analysis and storage.

However, with the introduction of quantum computing, which has rapidly advanced in computational capabilities, present a significant threat to these cryptographic methods. Large-scale quantum computers have the potential to break several established cryptographic algorithms, including RSA …
