Java Card Forum

The Java Card Forum is an industry association of companies from the smart card, secure operating system and secure silicon industry, working together to promote and develop Java as the preferred programming language for multi-application smart cards, secure devices and other execution environments.

Preparing Secure Elements for the Quantum Era

As quantum computing advances, it promises transformative breakthroughs, but also introduces serious risks to today’s cryptographic systems. In this insightful whitepaper, Infineon Technologies explores how emerging quantum capabilities could compromise widely used security methods such as RSA and ECC, and why organizations must begin preparing now. 

The paper outlines the growing importance of post-quantum cryptography (PQC), a new generation of algorithms designed to withstand quantum-based attacks, and highlights the critical role of Secure Elements in safeguarding sensitive data and digital identities. It also provides a practical overview of global standards, migration timelines, and the technical challenges involved in transitioning to quantum-safe infrastructures.

With regulatory deadlines approaching and long device lifecycles at stake, the message is clear: preparation cannot wait. This whitepaper offers a valuable roadmap for organizations looking to future-proof their security strategies in the era of quantum computing.
