"As quantum computing advances, industries are preparing for a future in which today’s cryptographic methods may no longer provide the same level of protection. For banks and issuers, the challenge is clear: ensuring that the payment cards issued today can continue to meet tomorrow’s security requirements while remaining fully compatible with the existing payment ecosystem. With this certification, IDEMIA Secure Transactions (IST) is providing a practical foundation for that transition."

"IDEMIA Secure Transactions revolutionizes the world of digital payments by demonstrating the first ever offline central bank digital currency (CBDC) payments incorporating enhanced security against quantum threats. This major innovation promises to transform financial transactions and pave the way for an era of post-quantum security with IST positioning itself as the leader in this transformation."
