- Quantum Security Collaboration: TechCreate is partnering with quantum cybersecurity provider pQCee to integrate NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography algorithms into its QR Hybrid POS terminals, aiming to enhance the security of cardholder data and transaction keys to effectively counter threats posed by quantum computing.
- Addressing HNDL Threat: By adopting post-quantum encryption technology, TechCreate seeks to mitigate the risk of 'Harvest Now, Decrypt Later' (HNDL) attacks, which allow attackers to capture and store encrypted sensitive data for future decryption, thereby ensuring the security of payment transactions.
- Industry Standardization: As global regulatory bodies begin to standardize post-quantum cryptography, TechCreate's quantum-safe Hybrid QR POS terminals will align with evolving security standards, enhancing the company's competitiveness in the digital payments infrastructure sector.
- Technological Priority: TechCreate CEO Heng Hai Lim emphasizes that quantum-safe encryption standards are critical for the future of digital payment infrastructure, making secure communication with financial institutions a key priority, further driving collaboration with pQCee to achieve quantum-safe integration in real-time payment systems.
