Google announces new algorithm that makes FIDO encryption safe from quantum computers


Google researchers have developed the first implementation of quantum-resistant encryption for FIDO2 security keys, a crucial step towards post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The new algorithm, Crystals-Dilithium, combines the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm with a PQC algorithm, offering a more secure form of encryption resistant to quantum-computing attacks. Despite the infancy of PQC algorithms and the potential risks, this development is a significant move towards future-proofing internet security against the looming threat of quantum computing.
