QES-Backed Virtual FIDO2 Authenticators: Architectural Options for Secure, Synchronizable WebAuthn Credentials
FIDO2 and the WebAuthn standard offer phishing-resistant, public-key based authentication but traditionally rely on device-bound cryptographic keys that are not naturally portable across user devices. Recent passkey deployments address this limitation by enabling multi-device credentials...
CVE-2020-12061
