Germany Launches Quantum-Secure ID Card Demonstrator
Germany is pioneering next-generation ID cards equipped with quantum-resistant technology, safeguarding digital identities against future threats from powerful quantum computers. This demonstrator, developed with key industry partners, marks a crucial step toward long-term security for government-issued documents.
The figures in the new annual report on cybersecurity in Germany are shocking. However, the critical situation is not solely due to political failures.
Germany takes first step toward quantum-secure national ID cards
Since its introduction in 2010, Germany’s national ID card with its built-in online identification feature has set a high standard for security. The next generation must now withstand potential quantum-computer attacks, covering both hardware and software, as each card will remain valid for ten years. In recent months, Bundesdruckerei and G+D have built a joint technical foundation for this transformation. Together with the German Federal Office…
G+D: Germany Sets New Standards for Secure ID Documents in the Quantum Computing Era
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC): Preparatory work completed to equip the next generation of ID cards with chips protected against quantum-computer attacks “A decisive step toward the future security of digital identities” Technical foundation jointly developed by Bundesdruckerei, Giesecke+Devrient (G+D), the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and Infineon – a first of its kind worldwide Early adoption
Cyberspyons in Germany are currently particularly interested in public administration. This is evident from the current situation report of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). A significant number of victims were therefore also found in the sectors of defence, justice, public security and order as well as defence. The BSI, however, generally assumes that long-term hacker groups are attacked by a large dark field. Federal Minister …
