IDEMIA's EMVCo certification shows post-quantum cryptography (ML-KEM and ML-DSA on a constrained Java Card with a hardware accelerator) can meet payment-industry standards. The main open question is how quickly banks adopt it, since the value depends on phased migration and crypto-agility rather than on any near-term quantum threat.
IDEMIA gets first EMVCo certification for quantum-safe payment cards

IDEMIA Secure Transactions earned EMVCo certification for a payment card platform with post-quantum cryptography, enabling banks to prepare for future quantum threats.
IDEMIA Secure Transactions is the first company to gain EMVCo certification for a payment card platform incorporating post-quantum cryptography and crypto-agility services, establishing a foundation for banks preparing for future quantum computing threats. Unlike typical IT systems, these cards are designed to function for years within the limited hardware of a payment card and maintain compatibility with existing payment infrastructure.…
