Savyint officially announces the Savyint PQC Lab – the first post-quantum cryptography (PQC) security platform in Vietnam dedicated to digital signature, PKI, cryptography infrastructure, and data encryption solutions.
Post-Quantum Security – No Time to Delay
With the rapid rise of technology, quantum computers are approaching the ability to break traditional cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and ECC, which have safeguarded global data for decades. To counter this challenge, Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) has emerged, leveraging entirely new and complex mathematical problems, such as code-based, lattice-based, hash-based methods, and others, to ensure resilience against both classical and quantum computers.
Recognizing the serious threat quantum computing poses to current security systems, in 2024, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the first three standardized PQC algorithms to ensure proper adoption of new cryptography: ML-KEM (FIPS-203), ML-DSA (FIPS-204), and SLH-DSA (FIPS-205). NIST also published a roadmap: starting in 2030, classical algorithms such as RSA-2048 and ECC-256 will begin to be phased out, and by 2035, they will be fully retired. This means that organizations and enterprises worldwide must develop roadmaps to adapt and transition their security infrastructures to PQC algorithms, in order to defend against financial data breaches via “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” attacks.
Moreover, implementing PQC standards is a complex process that may take 5–10 years, requiring organizations to prepare not only in terms of technical infrastructure, but also through long-term strategy, workforce training, and safe sandbox testing before large-scale adoption.
Therefore, preparing today is the foundation for organizations to proactively defend against attacks targeting sensitive data and to build a sustainable security ecosystem for the post-quantum era.
Savyint officially launches the first PQC Lab in Vietnam
As an international technology group with extensive expertise in PKI, cryptography, blockchain, digital identity, electronic authentication, and open banking/finance, Savyint proudly introduces the Savyint PQC Lab – the first post-quantum security lab in Vietnam, dedicated to digital signature, PKI, blockchain, and advanced cryptography solutions.
The Lab provides a testing environment that enables organizations to familiarize themselves with NIST-approved PQC algorithms, while evaluating compatibility, performance, and impact – without disrupting existing infrastructure or operational systems. This is particularly vital for financial institutions and fintech companies that must ensure compliance with international standards such as FIDO2, PSD2, eIDAS, and PCI DSS.
Key features of Savyint PQC Lab:
- Utilize HSMs that support NIST-standardized PQC algorithms
- Manage PQC certificates with scanning and alerts for those requiring replacement in compliance with NIST and emerging security standards
- Issue and automate the provisioning of PQC digital certificates
- Administer the full lifecycle of certificates and consolidate certificates requiring migration
- Provide a flexible and secure sandbox environment for rapid testing, isolated from live production systems
Mr. Steve Hoang, CTO & Chairman of Savyint Group, emphasized: “Transitioning to PQC is a 5–10-year journey that demands strategic vision and persistent execution. The Savyint PQC Lab is the tool that enables enterprises to embark on this journey safely, swiftly, and proactively.”
Currently, Savyint is collaborating with leading global technology and security partners such as Entrust, Kryptus, and FutureX to develop large-scale quantum-safe solutions applicable to critical sectors, including PKI and digital certificates, data security, network and telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial and defense applications.
The launch of the Savyint PQC Lab is not only a technological milestone but also a bold statement of Savyint’s pioneering role in the post-quantum era, partnering with global enterprises to build a secure, sustainable, and trustworthy digital future.
