Today's Technology News Summary
Google announces new algorithm that makes FIDO encryption safe from quantum computers
The FIDO2 industry standard adopted five years ago provides the most secure known way to log in to websites because it doesn't rely on passwords and has the most secure form of built-in two-factor authentication. Like many existing security schemes today, though, FIDO faces an ominous if distant threat from quantum computing, which one day will cause the currently rock-solid cryptography the standard uses to completely crumble.
Over the past decade, mathematicians and engineers have scrambled to head off this cryptopocalypse with the advent of PQC—short for post-quantum cryptography—a class of encryption that uses algorithms resistant to quantum-computing attacks. This week, researchers from Google announced the release of the first implementation of quantum-resistant encryption for use in the type of security keys that are the basic building blocks of FIDO2.
The best known implementation of FIDO2 is the passwordless form of authentication: passkeys. So far, there are no known ways passkeys can be defeated in credential phishing attacks. Dozens of sites and services now allow users to log in using passkeys, which use cryptographic keys stored in security keys, smartphones, and other devices.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a delight on Steam Deck — even though I sometimes can't tell what's going on.
I suspected that might be the case going in. Everything I had seen about Baldur's Gate 3 before I downloaded it promised a vast, sprawling adventure, and all the streams of the game I watched on Twitch featured incredibly detailed characters and worlds. I'm sure most of those streamers were running the game on top-of-the-line rigs. I suspected that the Steam Deck, which recently had some troubles with The Last of Us Part I, might not be the best place for me to play Larian Studios' new RPG.
That said, the game just looked like so much fun, and since it won't be coming to PS5 until September, I really wanted to find a way to play it sooner.
