RSA Conference 2025: Swissbit Showcasing Latest Advancements in Authentication Technology

Swissbit AG will unveil its latest advancements in authentication technology at the RSA Conference (RSAC) in San Francisco, CA, taking place April 28 to May 1, 2025, at the Moscone Center (booth #5168 North).

Launch at RSAC 2025: New iShield Key 2 will make its debut in San Francisco
The company will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of hardware security keys, including the iShield Key series, underscoring its commitment to passwordless, phishing-resistant authentication. Additionally, Swissbit will present innovations like the iShield Key MIFARE, the first to combine digital and physical access control in a single device, representing the next evolutionary step of hardware security keys as indispensable tools in a rapidly evolving market shaped by growing cyber and physical threats. A key highlight will be the debut of the next-gen iShield Key 2 series, with full details to be revealed at the conference.

In recent months, the company has expanded its hardware security key portfolio with 2 industry-first innovations that set new benchmarks. The iShield Key MIFARE is a first device to combine a FIDO security key with MIFARE DESFire EV3 technology, enabling secure digital authentication alongside physical access control, time tracking, and payment functions in a single solution. Complementing this is the iShield Key FIPS series, a first FIDO security key with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification, developed to meet the highest security standards required by US federal agencies and critical infrastructure operators.

All Swissbit hardware security keys are made in Europe, manufactured in the company’s semiconductor facility in Berlin, Germany, ensuring industrial-grade quality and reliability.

RSA ID Plus live demo
As part of its strategic partnership with RSA, the security-first identity leader, Swissbit will demonstrate the integration of iShield Key with the RSA ID Plus access management platform. Visitors to the company’s booth can experience firsthand how this FIDO2-compliant, tamper-resistant authentication device enhances passwordless authentication and strengthens phishing resistance. Together with the FIDO2-certified RSA Authenticator App, the iShield Key and RSA ID Plus deliver a passwordless solution for all users and use cases while helping organizations address broader Zero Trust mandates. In addition, RSA and Swissbit will host joint sessions at the RSA booth (N-6253) to detail best practices for how organizations can implement phishing-resistant passwordless authentication.
