Intercede Group (AIM:IGP), the digital identity expert, has extended its partnership with Swissbit to begin active development of an end-to-end FIDO2 passkey solution that can employ post-quantum cryptography.

The partnership pairs Swissbit's FIDO2-capable hardware, including its iShield Key 2 series and PKI/PIV devices, with Intercede's MyID product family and MyID CMS to deliver a single issuance-to-management stack for phishing-resistant, post-quantum FIDO2 credentials.

The initial joint work will be shown at Identiverse in Las Vegas from 15 to 18 June at Swissbit's booth #323, and Intercede says it will follow with a broader introduction of the full MyID suite over the coming months.

Customers can begin with PKI, PIV and FIDO2 devices already deployed in their environments and migrate to the post-quantum FIDO2 chain as standards and their requirements mature.

"The harder problem is everything around them: issuing the credential, binding it to a device, and managing it across thousands of users for years," said Klaas van der Leest, Chief Executive Officer of Intercede.
