FFEITIAN Completes Post‑Quantum Cryptography Upgrade Across Core Product Lines, Strengthening Long‑Term Digital Security

Jun 22^nd, 2026

FEITIAN Technologies Co., Ltd. announces the completion of a major post‑quantum cryptography (PQC) upgrade across its core authentication product portfolio, addressing the accelerating security challenges posed by emerging quantum computing capabilities. The upgrade integrates a dedicated PQC hardware co-processor at the chip level, providing native support for the ML‑KEM and ML‑DSA international standards. These enhancements bring quantum-resistant capabilities to FEITIAN’s Smart Cards, PKI Tokens, and FIDO Security Keys, enabling government and enterprise customers to build security architectures prepared for future quantum computing environments.

As quantum technology advances, traditional RSA and ECC algorithms face increasing exposure, particularly under “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” (HNDL) attacks, where adversaries collect encrypted datas today and decrypt them in bulk once quantum computing mature. This long‑term threat affects government, defense, financial services, and other critical sectors. FEITIAN’s proactive PQC upgrade helps organizations mitigate these risks by enabling a smooth transition from legacy cryptography to quantum‑resistant systems with minimal operational disruption.

The upgrade adopts a hardware‑native PQC implementation. By executing post‑quantum algorithms within an isolated hardware co-processor, FEITIAN ensures full key isolation and significantly reduces exposure to side‑channel attacks, offering stronger protection than software- and firmware-based PQC approaches. This architecture meets the stringent requirements of high‑security and compliance‑driven environments.

FEITIAN’s FT‑JCOS Smart‑Card Operating System now integrates ML‑KEM and ML‑DSA alongside AES, RSA, ECC, and other traditional algorithms. The system supports ISO7816 and ISO14443 communication protocols, Java Card 3.2.0, GlobalPlatform 2.3.1, and has achieved CC EAL6+ and EMVCo certifications at the chip level. This Crypto-Agile architecture enables smart‑card hardware to support PQC‑enabled PKI, PIV, and FIDO applications while maintaining compatibility with existing infrastructures.

FEITIAN has also upgraded two major product families. The PKI Token series now supports quantum‑resistant digital signatures and key‑encapsulation mechanisms, providing a drop‑in replacement for RSA/ECC‑based certificate systems and strengthening high‑assurance identity verification, electronic signatures, and secure key exchange. FEITIAN’s FIDO Security Key products gain hardware‑level PQC protection, enhancing zero‑trust deployments, remote‑work environments, and enterprise passwordless access.

With its upgraded PQC hardware foundation, FEITIAN delivers end‑to‑end quantum‑resistant authentication and data‑encryption solutions. ML‑DSA‑based authentication protects high‑security scenarios such as large‑value financial transactions, e‑government approvals, defense‑system access, and VPN connections. ML‑KEM‑based key‑encapsulation supports secure email, classified‑file exchange, enterprise messaging, and core‑data synchronization, ensuring full‑lifecycle protection against long‑term quantum threats.

FEITIAN’s PQC‑enhanced products integrate seamlessly with existing digital ecosystems, supporting certificate issuance, validation, and data‑digest verification while maintaining compatibility with Windows, Linux, and macOS. The Crypto-Agile architecture enables legacy and PQC‑enabled systems to operate in parallel, ensuring smooth adoption across diverse environments.

FEITIAN will continue advancing its PQC hardware and algorithm capabilities, providing long‑term, future‑ready protection for digital infrastructure across industries and helping organizations build a resilient, quantum‑safe security foundation.
