Eviden to launch first ‘post-quantum ready’ solutions for Digital Identity

Post-quantum cryptography mastered
from production to use

Lille, France, April 5, 2023

Eviden, the Atos business leading in digital, cloud, big data and security today announces the evolution of its digital identity management products so that they will be ready for the post-quantum era by the end of the year.

While powerful quantum computers will be able to break classical cryptography within a few years, post-quantum cryptography[1] (PQC) represents the most promising avenue to thwart the quantum threat. As technology is making progress, new cryptographic algorithms and methodologies are being specified and developed in cooperation between the scientific community, standardization bodies and industry.

Eviden’s product evolution will allow customers to anticipate the coming revolution, planning the migration of their cybersecurity solutions to gradually increase trust in post-quantum algorithms, with complete peace of mind.

The Eviden cybersecurity products for Digital Identity that will be ‘post-quantum ready’ soon are:

  • IDnomic PKI – a powerful, multi-purpose Public Key Infrastructure software suite for production and issuance of trusted digital identities, compliant to highest security standards. Crypto-agile by design, IDnomic PKI will guarantee a smooth migration path for customers by issuing hybrid certificates for legacy and ‘post-quantum cryptography ready’ applications.
  • Cryptovision GreenShield – a solution for email and file encryption, approved for the exchange of classified information (EU and NATO restricted, EUCI, VS-NfD certified), accredited by the German BSI and approved by the European Council. Its architecture is modular and flexible, based on crypto-agile development. PQC readiness will enable seamless use of traditional algorithms, as well as future quantum-resistant ones.

 

“With the soon coming quantum revolution, now is not the time for panic, but for planning! With its leadership in cybersecurity and pioneering approach to science and technology, Eviden has extensive expertise in post-quantum cryptography. We are delighted to announce that customers will benefit from a new version of our state-of-the-art digital identity products, ready to kick-start this exciting post-quantum cryptography revolution with future-proof solutions.” said Jean-Philippe Poirault, CEO Big Data and Security, Eviden, Atos Group.

IDnomic PKI and Cryptovision Greenshield ‘post-quantum cryptography ready’ will be available by Q4 2023.

Post-quantum cryptography is at the core of Eviden’s work, as Eviden also supports post-quantum algorithms with its Trustway Proteccio HSM. In addition, the Atos Group, through its Eviden business line, is a pioneer in quantum computing. The Group launched the first quantum emulator on the market in 2016 and now offers the most powerful quantum computing application development platform, coupled with a consultancy offering that accelerates real quantum applications through all-in-one capabilities and a best-in-class development environment.
