IDEMIA Launches Enhanced Security Smart Cards Resistant to Quantum Computers

(GlobalBanking&Finance) IDEMIA, a global player in Augmented Identity, has implemented in a secure element/smart card, an asymmetric post-quantum algorithm creating an unforgeable signature when using a quantum computer for enhanced authentication. Documents can be signed in less than 2 seconds, ensuring a frictionless user experience. These IDEMIA smart cards are now resistant by design.
This solution paves the way for the migration of digital security to quantum-safe implementation: public key infrastructure, secure authentication of people and things (IoT) and trusted services like electronic signatures.
