India, March 20 -- IDEMIA Secure Transactions (IST) has unveiled a post-quantum hardware accelerator designed to enhance the security of digital communications and connectivity infrastructure. Based on Keccak, a core function widely used in cryptographic algorithms, the technology aims to protect telecom networks, Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems, and cloud-based services from emerging quantum threats.

As quantum computing advances, current encryption methods face obsolescence, posing risks to digital transactions and data exchanges. To address this, IST's hardware accelerator offloads cryptographic processes from the main processor, improving efficiency and speed while ensuring post-quantum resilience. The innovation aligns with post...
