Learn how to retrieve your Google 2FA backup codes and how best to use them. Some services offer 2FA backup codes that can be used instead. Google is one such service.
Google has announced the first open-source quantum resilient FIDO2 security key implementation, which uses a unique ECC/Dilithium hybrid signature schema co-created with ETH Zurich. FIDO2 is the second major version of the Fast IDentity Online authentication standard, and FIDO2 keys are used for passwordless authentication and as a multi-factor authentication element.
Security teams now have to find a way to adjust their security architecture to this new cloud workload. Some teams may rely on their existing network security solutions. Google offers a wide range of native security functionalities built-in to Chrome.
Google on Tuesday announced the first quantum resilient FIDO2 security key implementation as part of its OpenSK security keys initiative. "This open-source hardware optimized implementation uses a novel ECC/Dilithium hybrid signature schema that benefits from the security of ECC against standard attacks and Dilithium's resilience against quantum attacks," Elie Bursztein and Fabian Kaczmarczyck said.
The Chocolate Factory is doing so because some day, many very bright people believe, quantum computers will be able to break at least some legacy encryption schemes. Google in 2019 said it had conducted an experiment that demonstrated quantum supremacy - the idea that a quantum computer could outperform a classical one.
Google has announced plans to add support for quantum-resistant encryption algorithms in its Chrome browser, starting with version 116. "Chrome will begin supporting X25519Kyber768 for establishing symmetric secrets in TLS, starting in Chrome 116, and available behind a flag in Chrome 115," Devon O'Brien said in a post published Thursday.
Google has changed the Google Chrome security updates schedule from bi-weekly to weekly to address the growing patch gap problem that allows threat actors extra time to exploit published n-day and...
Google has revealed new cellular security mitigations that will be available for users and enterprises on its soon-to-be-released Android 14, and announced a new release schedule for Chrome Stable channel updates. Even though 2G service has been shut down by most major network carriers, many devices are still able to connect to dwindling 2G cellular networks.
Qualys report looks at how misconfiguration issues on cloud service providers help attackers gain access. Cloud misconfiguration - incorrect control settings applied to both hardware and software elements in the cloud - are threat vectors that amplify the risk of data breaches.
McAfee's Mobile Research Team discovered the malicious Android apps and reported them to Google as they violated Google Play Store's policies. McAfee's report says the adware was hidden in Google Play apps that impersonated the TV/DMB Player, Music Downloader, News, and Calendar applications.
