New Delhi: Futurex, a leading data security enterprise, has announced a major industry milestone: its hardware security modules (HSMs) are now the only ones supporting post-quantum cryptography (PQC) that have been PCI HSM validated. This certification highlights Futurex’s commitment to innovation and its proactive approach to protecting payment systems from the looming threat of quantum computing.
- Pioneering Post-Quantum Cryptographic Integration
Futurex’s HSMs incorporate advanced post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, including ML-DSA (Message Length Digital Signature Algorithm) and ML-KEM (Message Length Key Encapsulation Mechanism). The company also announced plans to support SLH-DSA (Short Lattice Hash Digital Signature Algorithm) once ratified by NIST.
These algorithms are specifically designed to withstand the potential decryption capabilities of future quantum computers, positioning Futurex as a front-runner in cryptographic security. By integrating these algorithms early, Futurex aims to reinforce its role as a leader in the evolution of secure payment technology.
- Meeting Global Standards with FIPS and PCI Compliance
In addition to PCI HSM validation, Futurex’s HSMs are fully compliant with FIPS 203 and FIPS 204 standards, ensuring robust protection for sensitive data. This dual certification underscores Futurex’s ability to safeguard data both in transit and at rest while meeting global regulatory requirements.
