Welcome to the latest edition of the Quantum Era Security Times, brought to you by ID Quantique, the world leader in quantum-safe cryptography solutions. To begin, with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into force on 25th May, we would like to make sure you know about our privacy policy and how we keep your data safe. Also in this issue we review the three key points made in a recent statement by the European Commission’s Article 29 Working Party regarding the use of encryption when processing personal data within the EU. We then go on to look at how the financial services industry is balancing digital transformation with Quantum-Safe digital trust expertise and services in the face of rapid technological change spurred on by FinTech. Finally, we’re pleased to announce that the fifth edition of KPN’s European Cyber Security Perspectives report has been released and features an article from IDQ on ‘Why Quantum Technologies Matter in Critical Infrastructure and IoT’.
