Identity & Paymentech

Quantum computing poses a significant, and very current threat to technologies that manage payment, identity and financial transactions. Most of the present systems run on public key cryptography, which is potentially vulnerable to attack from quantum computers, able to crack the mathematics behind the scenes. A successful quantum attack would effectively allow attackers to decrypt sensitive information, and forge digital signatures used for authentication in payment systems.

With long-term sensitive data in play, the problem becomes even more urgent. Attackers could store encrypted data today, and decrypt it later, when quantum capability improves. With the stakes so high for financial organizations, it’s likely that this sector will be one of the most targeted, and there’s a global push to ensure vulnerable cryptographic systems are replaced with quantum-resistant alternatives as quickly as possible. That’s why at PQShield, we’ve developed a security suite of products that can help defend against the threat.
