Building on the iShield Key 2 – the first FIDO security key to unite digital and physical access in a single device – Swissbit will unveil key milestones on its authentication roadmap.Advancing Post-Quantum Authentication Swissbit is advancing post-quantum cryptography (PQC) for hardware-based authentication as part of its long-term iShield Key roadmap. At RSAC, the company will showcase the iShield Key PQC Evaluation Platform – an early hardware platform that enables selected partners to test PQC authentication flows, user experience, and integration ahead of finalized specifications and certification programs. The resulting insights will help inform future PQC-ready iShield Key products and support the broader ecosystem’s transition to post-quantum security.
