Singapore Banks Team Up to Test Quantum Security Solutions
15.08.2024 18:30 1 min. read Alexander Stefanov
Singapore's central bank, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), is spearheading an initiative with banks and technology firms to evaluate Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) as a defense against the potential threats of advanced quantum computing.
Following a February 2024 advisory on the cybersecurity risks posed by quantum technology, MAS urged financial institutions to pilot quantum security solutions. The focus is on achieving ‘cryptoagility,’ allowing a smooth shift from current cryptographic systems to quantum-resistant technologies without major disruptions.
MAS has allocated $100 million in grants to advance AI and quantum computing in finance. This funding will support trials investigating QKD and Post-Quantum Cryptography for securing critical financial data.
QKD, which securely exchanges cryptographic keys between parties, is considered vital for protecting against quantum computing advancements.
The upcoming trials will involve MAS and major banks—HSBC, UOB, DBS, and OCBC—testing QKD systems from SPTel and SpeQtral. The goal is to assess QKD’s feasibility for secure financial communications and refine strategies for quantum-proofing the sector.
Vincent Loy from MAS highlighted that these trials are crucial for understanding QKD’s impact and preparing for potential quantum-related cybersecurity challenges.
