Strengthening Trust: Thales Approach to Post-Quantum Cryptography in Digital Identity and Security

Thales, your trusted partner for a post-quantum world

Security is central to all Thales products and services. That’s why governments, military, and organisations with extremely sensitive data needs have relied on the company for many decades. In a world increasingly dependent on digital transactions, where data has immense value, Thales has a vital role to play. Quantum cyberattacks could cripple large networks in minutes. In anticipation of this evolution, hackers have already begun a Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) strategy of stealing longer life data they cannot yet access - but will soon be able to. 

Thales Digital Identity and Security shows robust positioning on Post-Quantum Cryptography, focusing on supporting the latest cryptographic algorithms including codeveloping the Falcon cryptographic signature algorithm, adopting new communications and key management protocols, and evolving certificates to increase quantum resistance. Attention is directed not only to the hardware and software but also the broader ecosystem that connects the various Thales organisations and beyond. 

Thales has developed solutions that are crypto-agile by design and can help defend against Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) attacks today and into the future. Thales has an extensive and growing partner ecosystem, including PKI providers and PQC partners, to enable an optimum quantum transition that can begin immediately. 

Thales’s ongoing exploration and utilisation of PQC capabilities, offering the crypto-agility to evolve as quantum advances, paired with a focus on data and identity security, reinforce our commitment to ensuring trust across the expanding digital landscape and preparing for future quantum threats today.
