BTQ, a Bitcoin quantum-resistant organization, is collaborating with Daou Data to advance quantum-resistant security for South Korea's payment system.

BTQ Technologies (BTQ), a specialist in quantum-resistant cryptography for Bitcoin, announced a strategic partnership with Daou Data, a South Korean IT and payment infrastructure company. The partnership aims to introduce a hardware-based post-quantum security architecture to South Korea's electronic payment system. By adopting Korean Post-Quantum Cryptography (K-PQC) and a hardware trust architecture, the partnership seeks to enhance the security of key generation, encryption processing, and key management to address potential threats posed by quantum computing, including "collect first, decrypt later" attack patterns.
