The first EAL6+ certified quantum-safe smartcard platform has arrived. Discover why this milestone matters and how organisations can prepare for the transition to post-quantum security without disrupting existing operations.

The transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is emerging as the most significant cybersecurity challenge of the decade. As governments, financial institutions and technology providers prepare for the planned deprecation of classical cryptographic standards by 2030, organisations face a critical question: how can they secure today's investments while preparing for tomorrow's threats?

A major milestone has now been reached in the smartcard industry, marking a turning point in the race toward quantum-safe security.

Quantum-Safe Security Starts Now

For decades, security certifications have served as the benchmark for trust in national identity programs, payment ecosystems and government credentials. Today, a new certification achievement is setting a higher standard for quantum-ready solutions and creating a clear distinction between organisations that are prepared for the future and those that are not.

In this exclusive ABI Research report, discover how this industry-first certification is redefining expectations for secure digital credentials and accelerating the adoption of quantum-safe technologies worldwide.

What you'll learn

Why EAL6+ certification changes everything

Understand why EAL6+ has become the new benchmark for evaluating quantum-safe security solutions and what it means for critical applications such as national IDs, payment cards and government credentials.

Why waiting for global standards may create unnecessary risk

Explore the strategic implications of delaying action until international standards are fully established, and learn how early movers can strengthen trust, differentiation and long-term resilience.

How to build a practical migration strategy

Learn how organisations can adopt a phased approach to quantum readiness, protecting existing infrastructure and business models while preparing for future compliance and security requirements.
