HSM and PCI/FIPS Requirements in the Post-Quantum Era: Certification & Lifecycle (Q02d)
Quantum change is coming, but certification cycles don’t move at quantum speed. Let’s discuss how to align HSM lifecycles and PCI frameworks for a secure and compliant transition to the post-quantum era. As quantum-resistant cryptography transitions from research to implementation, the payments industry faces a critical inflection point: how do we evolve Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), certification processes, and FIPS & PCI compliance frameworks to remain trustworthy and interoperable in a post-quantum world? This talk explores the next decade of cryptographic module evolution in the payment ecosystem, from card issuance and tokenization to acquirer infrastructure and real-time rails. the speakers’ll analyze how PCI PTS, PCI HSM, and PCI DSS frameworks must adapt to support hybrid and post-quantum algorithms, and what that means for existing certification lifecycles.
