When Quantum Computers Challenge Passkeys – Part 1
by Johann Philipp Thiers

Passkeys make phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication easier to use—but their security rests on FIDO2 and public-key cryptography. Part I explains how WebAuthn, CTAP, authenticators, relying parties, and the FIDO Metadata Service work together, where cryptography is used across the FIDO2 ecosystem, and why migrating passkeys to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is an ecosystem challenge rather than a simple algorithm swap.

From checkout to audit trail: why storage matters in fiscal-ready POS systems
by Marco Leidl

Fiscal compliance starts long before an audit. It begins at the POS, where every transaction must be recorded, protected, retained and made available in line with country-specific requirements. This article explains why secure, reliable storage is a critical foundation for fiscal-ready POS systems.

e.MMC, UFS or PCIe BGA? Choosing the Right Soldered Storage for Industrial Systems
by Alexander Lenz

As semiconductor suppliers scale back e.MMC, many industrial customers are reassessing their storage strategy. But UFS is not automatically the safer choice. The key is to match performance, platform compatibility, integration effort, and long-term availability to the actual application requirements.
