Post-Quantum Cryptography at Work to Secure Tomorrow’s Signatures
AuthenTrend’s commitment to protect users extend into the quantum computing era. We collaborate with industry leaders and research institutions to be at the forefront of safe authentication.
Proven Innovation: The ITRI Collaboration
We don't just talk about the future; we demonstrate it.
AuthenTrend successfully conducted a world-class technical demo in collaboration with ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute).
The demo showcased the potentials of our upgraded ATKey.Pro.
Its seamless integration with ITRI’s PQC FIDO server and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) proved AuthenTrend’s readiness real world deployment.
Quantum-Safe: Because Safety Isn’t Optional
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is a must.
As quantum computing technology moves from theory to commercial reality, traditional cryptographic algorithms like RSA and ECDSA are becoming a critical liability. Much of what today is considerate safe will have to evolve or turn into a possible attack vector.
AuthenTrend is already in the fray. We are leading the industry by preparing hardware security keys that support PQC, like the NIST-standard ML-DSA and ML-KEM.
We aren't just waiting for the threat to arrive; we are building the shield now.
Invisible Security: Complexity for Us, Simplicity for You
The math changes, but the experience doesn't. Quantum computing introduces a seismic shift in how data is signed and verified, moving the goalposts for what is considered "secure."
However, your employees and users won't notice a thing.
AuthenTrend’s local biometric fingerprint authentication remains the gold standard for speed and convenience. Whether in a classical or post-quantum world, the user's experience is the same: a single touch for instant, unforgeable access.
Built for the Transition: Hybrid Compatibility and Crypto Agility
Quantum-resistant algorithms are going to be needed to adapt to the Post Quantum environment. But they will have to be tested and proven.
To ensure no gaps or hardware purchases that will go straight to the bin once a small flaw is identified we based our development around Hybrid Compatibility and Crypto Agility.
Thanks to a Hybrid Compatible structure new PQC algorithms (ML-DSA, ML-KEM) and legacy ones (RSA, ECDSA) will be concurrently available allowing a gradual transition. A Hybrid approach also creates a fallback solution in case any vulnerability is discovered in the newer implementations.
Crypto Agility gives AuthenTrend hardware the ability to evolve and adapt to challenges and overcome vulnerabilities. If a vulnerability is discovered in a specific algorithm or if NIST updates its requirements, our "agile" firmware ensures that your security infrastructure can adapt.
The Biometric Advantage: Physics Meets Math
While quantum computers are masters of breaking digital math, they cannot simulate the physical presence of a user.
AuthenTrend combines the mathematical strength of PQC with the physical certainty of fingerprint matching technology.
The Hardware-Bound biometric proof adds an extra protection against remote, large-scale quantum attacks.
