Google today on the second day of Cloud Next 2018 announced its own 2FA Security Key as part of the Titan secure elements family. It also introduced the Edge TPU for the Internet of Things. Google last year has mentioned its intentions to "built micro-controller” for servers in its data centers. The Titan Security Key features Google's firmware so it becomes easier to verify the physical key’s integrity. It also features physical Security Keys that are especially phishing-resistant with two-factor authentication. The Key comes with NFC, Bluetooth, and charging over USB-C for mobile devices, while another uses a standard USB port and connects to laptop computers. Google says that the Titan Security Key can be purchased by Google Cloud customers. Moving along, Google has announced the Edge TPU, a purpose-built ASIC chip designed to run TensorFlow Lite models. It runs on machine running models with the focus on “performance per watt” and “performance per dollar.” It will be able to run influencers, make local, real-time, and intelligent decisions “at the edge.” Google is also announcing context-aware access capabilities and it is now available for select customers in beta for VPC Service Controls, and coming soon to beta for Cloud IAM, Cloud IAP, and Cloud Identity. Shielded VMs, available now in beta, while the ...
