Europe's Chips JU funding of the uPQComing project marks a strategic shift toward deploying post-quantum cryptography in resource-constrained embedded systems, specifically targeting identity card security. Giesecke+Devrient is advancing practical solutions to integrate quantum-resistant algorithms into Java Card chip operating systems, addressing the immediate need for crypto-agile architectures before quantum threats become operational. This initiative moves beyond theoretical research to validate performance and interoperability in real-world hardware constraints.
Europe funds G+D in uPQComing project to shield IDs from quantum attacks

Giesecke+Devrient contributes to the uPQComing project, a European initiative funded by Chips JU, developing quantum-resistant ID technologies.
The Chips Joint Undertaking is funding the uPQComing project, directly investing in a proactive defense against threats posed by quantum computing to digital infrastructure. SecurityTech company Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) will focus on integrating post-quantum cryptography into the resource-constrained embedded secure elements found in modern identity cards. This…
