The innovative smartcard (‘ MultiApp 5.2 Premium PQC’), developed by Thales and certified by the French Cybersecurity Agency (Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information – ANSSI), uses advanced digital signature designed to resist attacks, even from powerful quantum machines. It’s the first of its kind to be certified at such a high security level (EAL 6+2) under the Common Criteria framework. The certified product also features new Digital Signature Algorithms3 standardised by the American NIST – National Institute of Standards and Technology. These specific signature algorithms are powerful cryptographic tools used to verify that data or a digital message really comes from the right sender and has not been altered.
