SAVYINT Showcases Post-Quantum Digital Trust Solutions at the International Conference: “Shaping the Future of PKI Infrastructure: Transitioning Cryptographic Standards for Trust Services into the Post-Quantum Era”
On July 21, in Hanoi, the National Electronic Authentication Center (NEAC) under the Ministry of Science and Technology hosted the international conference “Shaping the Future of PKI Infrastructure: Transitioning Cryptographic Standards for Trust Services into the Post-Quantum Era.” At the event, SAVYINT demonstrated its forward-looking vision by showcasing its comprehensive Digital Trust solutions powered by Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). The Post-Quantum Era and New Challenges for Digital Trust The conference was held at a time when countries around the world are accelerating research and preparations for the impact of quantum computing on digital infrastructure. While quantum computing promises unprecedented computational capabilities, it also presents significant challenges to the cryptographic mechanisms currently used to safeguard data, digital identities, and electronic transactions. During the conference, experts discussed emerging trends and challenges in trust services, shared international experiences in modernizing PKI infrastructure, enhancing crypto agility, and preparing migration roadmaps toward next-generation security technologies to ensure digital trust in the post-quantum era. Digital Trust Infrastructure as the Foundation of the Digital Economy In her opening remarks, Ms. To Thi Thu Huong, Director General of the National Electronic Authentication Center (NEAC), emphasized that Vietnam is entering a period of rapid development in its digital economy, digital society, and digital government. In this transformation, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), digital signatures, and trust services serve as the foundation for electronic identity authentication, data integrity, and trust in digital transactions. Proactively studying international standards, adopting global best practices, and preparing for future cryptographic transitions will not only help maintain digital trust and protect electronic transactions, but also facilitate cross-border interoperability and mutual recognition of trust services, supporting Vietnam’s international integration in the digital era. Three Major Challenges Facing Digital Trust Infrastructure in the Next Decade At the conference, domestic and international experts highlighted three critical challenges that are reshaping digital trust infrastructure worldwide. First, the rapid advancement of quantum computing requires a transition to new cryptographic standards capable of protecting data, digital identities, and electronic transactions in the future. Second, the explosive growth of cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and large-scale digital systems is dramatically increasing the number of digital certificates, connected devices, and trust services requiring authentication, making PKI modernization an urgent priority. Third, the global trend toward shorter digital certificate lifecycles, aimed at strengthening cybersecurity, is placing increasing pressure on certificate lifecycle management and operational efficiency. Experts agreed that the transition to the post-quantum era is not merely a technological challenge, but also one of governance, standardization, and organizational adaptability in an increasingly digital world. One of the key concepts highlighted during the conference was Crypto Agility – the capability that enables systems to seamlessly adopt and transition between cryptographic algorithms. Experts emphasized that adopting Hybrid Cryptography represents the most practical and strategic approach for Certification Authorities (CAs) in Vietnam to gradually migrate to post-quantum security while ensuring uninterrupted operation of existing systems. Strengthening Cryptographic Security Mr. Hoang Nguyen Van, Vice President of theVietnam Institute for Digital Transformation and Innovation (VIDTI), pointed out that the threat posed by quantum computing is no longer a distant concern – it is becoming a reality. Once sufficiently powerful quantum computers emerge, many of today’s cryptographic algorithms protecting government systems, national defense, financial services, banking, healthcare, and other critical infrastructures could be broken. Every nation is facing this security challenge. As economies become increasingly digital, the issue extends beyond protecting data – it is about safeguarding digital sovereigntyandtechnological sovereignty. “Long-lived data with retention periods of 25 to 30 years – such as financial records, strategic assets, public service contracts, and healthcare data faces a significant risk if not protected by next-generation cryptographic standards. Such data could be collected today and decrypted in the future through ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ attacks,” Mr. Hoang Nguyen Van stated. He also proposed a reference roadmap for the 2026 – 2030 period, including: Conducting a comprehensive inventory of cryptographic assets, assessing cryptographic risks, piloting new algorithms and deployment models; and gradually building national capabilities in post-quantum cryptography to safeguard data, electronic transactions, and financial security in the years ahead. According to Mr. Hoang Nguyen Van, the guiding principle for this transition should be “Crypto-Agility First.” This approach enables organizations to update cryptographic algorithms flexibly while maintaining interoperability and minimizing operational disruption when traditional algorithms are no longer considered secure. He further emphasized that the migration extends far beyond replacing cryptographic algorithms. It requires comprehensive modernization across the entire IT ecosystem, including network infrastructure, servers, authentication systems, operational processes, and business applications. To ensure security throughout the transition period, he recommended adopting a Hybrid Cryptography model that combines today’s widely deployed algorithms with quantum-resistant algorithms such as lattice-based cryptography.

Strengthening Authentication, Fraud Prevention and Risk Governance Become Top Priorities for Philippine Banks
To strengthen fraud prevention, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), under Circular No. 1213, requires institutions to adopt enhanced authentication methods in place of SMS and email OTPs, while also strengthening automated fraud management systems. According to BSP Circular No. 1213, issued in May 2025, the central bank requires BSP-supervised financial institutions to replace SMS- and email-based OTPs with stronger authentication methods such as biometrics, behavioural authentication, adaptive authentication, or passwordless authentication by 25 June 2026. In addition, the circular sets out specific requirements for strengthening automated fraud monitoring. This directive applies to banks and e-wallet operators with average online transaction revenues of more than PHP 75 million per month, including most commercial banks, digital banks, cooperative banks, and rural banks. Banks that fail to comply must reimburse customers for funds lost due to fraud. 1. Authentication and Compliance Requirements Circular 1213 requires institutions to move away from authentication mechanisms that can be shared with or intercepted by third parties. SMS and email OTPs fall under this definition. By 30 June 2026, high-risk transactions and critical account changes must use phishing-resistant, device-bound alternatives, such as server-side biometrics authenticated against templates stored by the bank, or FIDO2/WebAuthn passkeys with device authentication. OTPs may only be used to confirm ownership of a registered mobile phone number. Biometrics BSP requires financial institutions to adopt server-side biometric authentication, where customer identity is verified within the bank’s secure backend system based on biometric templates stored on the bank’s server. The use of biometrics is expected to reduce the risks of account takeover, device compromise, spoofing, and unauthorized changes to authentication credentials. FIDO2 Passkey FIDO2/WebAuthn is a passwordless authentication standard designated by BSP as a mandatory solution for high-risk transactions and critical account changes, which must use phishing-resistant and device-bound alternatives. Smart OTP As mentioned above, Smart OTP is used for one purpose only: confirming ownership of a registered mobile phone number. It must not be used for transaction authentication. This is an important distinction that banks should note to avoid confusion with traditional OTPs. 2. Fraud Prevention and Management Requirements In addition to strong authentication methods, Circular 1213 also requires financial and banking institutions to strengthen their proactive fraud monitoring and detection capabilities by identifying suspicious transactions, unfamiliar devices, and abnormal customer behaviour before financial losses occur. Accordingly, fraud management systems must operate in real time and be capable of: BSP emphasizes that batch processing or end-of-day reconciliation does not meet this standard. 3. AI-Powered Strong Authentication and Fraud Prevention Solutions from Savyint With extensive experience working with and supporting financial institutions, SAVYINT provides a security and fraud prevention solution suite that supports compliance with AFASA and BSP Circulars 1213, 1214, and 1215.

From PSD3 and eIDAS 2.0 to Zero Trust: A New Security Strategy for the Finance and Banking Sector
The financial sector is entering a period of profound transformation. Amid the rapid increase in both the frequency and financial impact of scams and payment fraud – alongside emerging risks from quantum computing and tighter regulatory requirements under PSD3 and eIDAS 2.0, financial institutions need a well-structured, proactive, flexible, and future-ready security strategy. From PSD1, PSD2 to PSD3: A new standard for digital payments and fraud prevention In 2007, the European Union’s first Payment Services Directive, PSD1, established a unified payments market, improved transparency, and enabled cross-border e-commerce. A decade later, PSD2 was introduced, driving competition through open banking, requiring Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), and creating a legal foundation for third-party access to payment accounts. By November 2025, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union reached a provisional political agreement on PSD3, addressing emerging challenges in digital payments, open banking, and fraud prevention. One of the most notable aspects of PSD3 is the strengthened requirement for Strong Customer Authentication. SCA is no longer limited to payment authentication, but is also extended to a wider range of customer actions, such as changing transaction limits, updating contact information, restoring devices, setting up authorization, or changing authentication methods. Strong authentication is becoming an integral layer across the entire customer journey. Under the latest directive, PSD3 also reinforces the responsibility of payment service providers in fraud prevention. When incidents occur involving authentication failures or suspicious transactions, legal liability must be clearly defined. This is a key driver for financial institutions to invest more heavily in multi-layered authentication, risk analytics, transaction monitoring, and digital identity protection. In addition, PSD3 continues to promote API standardization in open banking, compliance with FAPI, and greater consistency, interoperability, and service quality among banks, fintech companies, and third-party providers. If PSD3 raises the question of how to strengthen customer authentication, reduce fraud, and ensure accountability in digital payments, then eIDAS 2.0 provides part of the answer – by positioning digital identity and electronic identity wallets as a trusted, standardized, and cross-border foundation for user verification. eIDAS 2.0: Digital identity as the foundation of digital trust While PSD3 focuses heavily on payments and financial services, eIDAS 2.0 places electronic identity and trust services at its core. One of the most prominent elements of eIDAS 2.0 is the European Digital Identity Wallet, or EUDI Wallet. The EU DI Wallet enables individuals and businesses to store, manage, and use their digital identity across a wide range of services. When integrated into the financial sector, digital identity wallets can become a powerful authentication method, helping customers access banking services, verify their identity, and conduct transactions more securely. Beyond promoting the EUDI Wallet, eIDAS 2.0 also introduces stricter requirements for Trust Service Providers, or TSPs, in areas such as governance, risk management, and auditability. In particular, crypto-agility and readiness for Post Quantum Cryptography, or PQC, are identified as critical factors to ensure the long-term resilience of trust services. The requirements under PSD3 and eIDAS 2.0 reflect a clear trend: financial security is becoming inseparable from digital identity. A secure transaction requires not only a protected payment system, but also a trusted and verifiable identity authentication foundation. For banks and fintech companies, this creates an urgent need to prepare modern authentication infrastructure that can integrate with digital identity wallets, support passwordless authentication, manage the identity lifecycle, and provide compliance evidence when required. Zero Trust Security Architecture: Never trust by default, always verify Zero Trust is one of the most widely discussed security architectures today, thanks to its strong security posture and core principles: Instead of assuming that users, devices, or applications inside the system are secure, the Zero Trust model starts from the principle that no user, device, or application should be trusted by default. As a result, every access request must be continuously verified, rather than checked only once at login. For the Finance and Banking sector – where sensitive data, high-value transactions, and multiple third-party connection points are involved – a well-implemented Zero Trust security architecture can help organizations reduce the risk of unauthorized access, minimize potential damage when incidents occur, and strengthen control over activities across the entire system. Further reading on Zero Trust: Savyint Group: A trusted partner in building digital trust Bringing together leading experts in open banking, data encryption, and payment security, Savyint is ready to accompany enterprises and global partner ecosystems throughout the journey – from assessment and roadmap consulting to testing and implementation of Zero Trust-aligned security solutions.

Strengthening Fraud Prevention in the Digital Environment with Device Fingerprinting
As organizations, especially those in finance and banking, e-commerce, and digital services, increasingly require stronger identity-based security models, device fingerprint has become an important component of modern authentication, fraud prevention, and risk control strategies. What is Device Fingerprinting? Device fingerprinting, also known as a “digital fingerprint for device identification,” is a method of identifying a device based on a set of software and hardware information, including: When combined, these data points create a digital identity. Each device usually has a unique digital identity that enables recognition. Even if users delete cookies or start a new login session, the system can still determine whether the device is familiar or not. This is also why device fingerprinting is widely used in authentication systems, fraud detection tools, and identity security platforms, as it adds an intelligent layer of identification that does not rely solely on usernames and passwords. How Does Device Fingerprinting Work? Like a miniature fraud detection system, device fingerprinting also operates based on the mechanism of: collecting information → combining the information to create a unique fingerprint → identifying the device over time. Step 1: Collecting Device Attributes When users access a website or log in to an application, the system begins collecting information related to the device, such as browser information including type, version, and plugins; operating system and device type; screen size and resolution; language and time zone; IP address and network signals, among others. This data is collected passively and does not interrupt the user experience. Step 2: Creating a Unique Fingerprint for the Device After collecting sufficient information, the system combines these data points to generate a unique identifier, forming a distinct fingerprint value. Step 3: Storing and Matching the Device Identity Once the fingerprint is created, the system securely stores it on the server side. During the next login, the system compares the new fingerprint with previously known fingerprints. Instead of treating every login attempt the same way, the system adapts based on whether the device is trusted, allowing it to make appropriate follow-up decisions. Benefits of Device Fingerprinting Compared with traditional security measures, device fingerprinting enhances fraud detection capabilities in various scenarios, such as account takeover, fraud in digital account registration, and payment fraud, thanks to the following advantages: Strengthening Fraud Prevention with Savyint’s Compliant and Secure Solution Suite As organizations demand stronger security, device fingerprinting, together with advanced authentication methods and passwordless authentication, has become an essential component of modern security architecture. This is also a key strength of Savyint’s comprehensive compliance and security solution suite.
