Quantum-Safe Hardware Security Modules - Requirements and Implementation

Learn about the critical requirements for quantum-safe Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) in this 28-minute talk from PKI Consortium. Explore the three essential components that make an HSM truly quantum-safe: the implementation of quantum-safe root keys and algorithms for internal processing, support for quantum-safe firmware updates to maintain agility as protocols evolve, and built-in access to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms for application integration. Understand why simply exposing PQC algorithms while using classic algorithms internally does not qualify an HSM as quantum-safe, and discover why every currently deployed HSM will need replacement with quantum-safe alternatives. Presented by Bruno Couillard, Co-Founder & CEO of Crypto4A, gain valuable insights into the future of HSM security in the quantum computing era.
