Datensicherheitskeys
Datensicherheitskeys, often referred to as security keys, are physical devices used to authenticate users to online accounts and computer systems. They are designed to provide a stronger and more secure alternative to traditional password-based authentication. These keys typically utilize cryptographic principles to generate unique codes or perform complex authentication challenges that are difficult for attackers to replicate.
The primary function of a datensicherheitskey is to protect against common cyber threats such as phishing
These keys often implement industry standards like FIDO (Fast Identity Online) Alliance protocols, such as U2F
