This week I did some research on “passwordless authentication”. Namely passkey as the newish buzzword. Here is some resources might want to reference later during work.

On Passkey

• One of the more extensive listings blogposts that describe passkey on just one page. It’s on chinese though the architecutral models are labeled on english. http://rui0.cn/archives/1543

• All around passkey on one page. Including a detection demopage and feature matrix of plattforms featuring passkey authenticators. https://passkeys.dev/device-support/ and https://featuredetect.passkeys.dev/ and https://passkeys.dev/docs/reference/specs/

• Learned also that FIDO (the standard behind passkey ) consistes of the WebAuthn and the CTAP protocols. So here are the basic spec pages of both standards https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.1-ps-20210615/fido-client-to-authenticator-protocol-v2.1-ps-errata-20220621.html and https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/

• A real good german talk of the Keycloak User Group Austria on Keycloak fundamentals and how it’s done with Keycloak as Relying Party. The video also explains what a relying aprty actually is :D. Sadly all in german though the autotranslate is strong with YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RECHlvbW2u0

• [UNSCREENED] Will need to watch this hands on Keycloak FIDO2 Setup guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAP4mc6R1Do&t=171s

• [UNSCREENED] Looks promising. Content includes complications/downsides with passkey, too. Might be content marketing though. https://www.corbado.com/blog/webauthn-user-id-userhandle#webauthn-credential-id

On My Reading List

• [UNSCREENED] How to Manage GIT identities: Since I was fiddling with customizing my local machine’s workflow, I feel like this article needs to be read by me https://www.benji.dog/articles/git-config/

• Under which % of load do the benchmarked CPUs perform less than optimal? TLDR: At aabout 60% utilization. Great article with clear and understanable graphs. I was just missing manufacturer names and CPU models. Probably not mentioned for obvious reasons. https://github.blog/engineering/architecture-optimization/breaking-down-cpu-speed-how-utilization-impacts-performance/
