IDEMIA Secure Transactions and KT Corporation are deploying quantum-resistant SIMs in South Korea's military networks, supporting both NIST and Korean Post-Quantum Cryptography (KpqC) algorithms. This initiative, part of South Korea's 2026 Post-Quantum Cryptography Pilot Conversion Project, aims to enhance crypto-agility and secure military communications against future quantum threats. The SIMs act as a hardware root of trust, offloading intensive cryptographic handshakes from host devices and ensuring operational resilience across various military applications.
