This article details a significant initiative by Giesecke+Devrient to integrate post-quantum cryptography into resource-constrained smart card operating systems, addressing critical performance bottlenecks like memory usage and computational overhead. The project focuses on developing crypto-agile architectures and hybrid key exchange schemes to ensure backward compatibility while migrating European digital identity infrastructure to quantum-resistant standards. This work represents a pivotal step in securing embedded secure elements against future quantum threats within the public digital ID ecosystem.
Giesecke+Devrient Joins European uPQComing Consortium to Develop Quantum-Safe eID Operating Systems

Munich-based security technology group Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) has joined uPQComing (Enhancing Cyber-Resilience for the Upcoming Post-Quantum Era), a European research consortium co-funded by the European Union's Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU). The project focuses on migrating critical public digital infrastructure and resource-constrained embedded secure elements—specifically smart card integrated circuits and electronic identity (eID) operating systems—to Post-Quantum [...] The post Giesecke+Devrient Joins European uPQComing Consortium to Develop Quantum-Safe eID Operating Systems appeared first on Quantum Computing Report.
