Quantum Technology for Securing Financial Messaging
The Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) is a consortium of stakeholders that aims to enable and grow the quantum industry. QED-C was established with support from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as part of the Federal strategy for advancing quantum information science and as called for by the National Quantum Initiative Act enacted in 2018.
Read QED-C’s latest report, Quantum Technology for Securing Financial Messaging, which explores the potential impact of quantum computing, networking, and communications in the financial sector. The report assesses quantum-resistant technologies and provides guidance on strategies for achieving security across the sector.
The participants in the report identified high-feasibility, high-impact use cases benefiting from quantum-resistant technologies and services, such as secure cross-border transactions, physical infrastructure, third-party validation of financial institution’s resistance to quantum threat, and transport layer security.
The report also includes actionable insights for minimizing risks posed by the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat.
About ID Quantique
ID Quantique (IDQ), founded in 2001, initially operated as a spin-off company of the University of Geneva, working on research projects to demonstrate the feasibility of quantum key distribution (or QKD, also known as quantum cryptography). In late 2003, IDQ developed the first QKD product for data centers to protect data in transit. 20 years later, IDQ released its 4th generation of quantum key distribution systems and remains the market leader in quantum safe cryptography and quantum sensing solutions. It maintains close ties with academic institutions by participating in numerous research programs and plays a leading role in cutting-edge projects to drive innovation to the market.
