WebAuthn PRF Encryption: Passkeys and WebAuthn – the next frontier for secure file encryption.

The evolution of passkeys and WebAuthn is not only advancing passwordless authentication—it is also unlocking new capabilities in the realm of data security. Among the most significant recent developments is the ability to use passkeys, in conjunction with the WebAuthn PRF (Pseudo-Random Function) extension, to securely encrypt and decrypt files. This represents a powerful new use case for passkeys, offering users phishing-resistant, hardware-backed, and password-free file encryption.
