PQShield and Quant-X joint whitepaper.
Almost every individual and organization heavily rely on the financial market’s highly secured and performing digital infrastructures, a combination which is a challenge in itself. Cryptography plays an essential role for both aspects.
The development of new high performing technologies always initiated a shift in cryptography requirements. While some of those shifts can be realized by adjustments of
existing cryptographic algorithms, the development of quantum computers demands a paradigm shift in cryptography.
This whitepaper summarizes the current state of the PQC standards and the governmental regulations, outlines generic financial market specific threats that can be mitigated by post-quantum cryptography and proposes mitigation measures.
