The organizers specifically wanted to think in big-...

A lot of new hardware security keys (Yubikey, Nitrokey, Titan, etc.) now support FIDO2 (aka U2F aka Webauthn aka Passkey; yes it’s a mess). So does OpenSSH. This spells good news for us, because it is far easier to use than previous hardware security types (eg, PKCS#11 and OpenPGP) with ssh. A key benefit of all thi...
