France, Oct. 7 -- As quantum computing evolves, many of today's cryptographic methods will no longer be secure, since quantum computers will be able to solve complex mathematical problems much faster than classical computers. A recent Gartner(R) report says "by 2029, advances in quantum computing will make conventional asymmetric cryptography unsafe to use", Thales has spent years investing in post-quantum cryptography to ensure critical systems stay safe in the future.By becoming the first company to receive high-level Common Criteria certification for a quantum-resistant smartcard, Thales will help government services protect sensitive data - such as those on ID cards, health cards, and driver's licenses; and ensure that citizens' identit...
