#quantum-resistant security

Infineon Technologies AG has announced that it is taking security to the next level with the new OPTIGA TPM (Trusted Platform Module) SLB 9672, a future-proof security solution with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) protected firmware update mechanism using XMSS signatures. Infineon said that the technology can address the challenges of the impact of quantum computing in cybersecurity, specifically on the confidentiality of encrypted data and the integrity of digital signatures. The mechanism brought by the OPTIGA TPM with PQC can counteract the threat of firmware corruption by attackers with access to quantum computers and increases the long-term survivability of the device by enabling a quantum-resistant firmware upgrade path. Security evaluation and certification are performed by independent bodies according to the Common Criteria and FIPS requirements. Infineon is committed to the long-term availability of OPTIGA TPM SLB 9672 for a minimum of ten years and offers tailored support and maintenance through the Infineon Security Partner Network (ISPN). The main highlight of the Galaxy Quantum 5 is its Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) chip from ID Quantique, which enhances security for online banking and sensitive data. This new chip sets the Quantum 5 apart from the standard Galaxy A55, by providing an extra layer of security that’s particularly valuable for protecting biometrics and passwords data.
