IDEMIA

Today, it would take billions of years to crack the cryptography inside a payment card. With quantum computers, it could take just a few hours. That is what Q-Day means for payments, and it's why Elyette Roux, EVP Payment Services at IDEMIA Secure Transactions, joined Gilane Barret, host of BFM Business Vision d'Entreprises, to explain what quantum computing will change for every chip and digital transaction we rely on. At IST, we're already preparing for that day. We're urging banks, issuers and the wider payments industry to do the same, because the time to prepare is now, not when Q-Day arrives. OpenMedias

Think your job is hard to explain? Michał is a Standardization Manager. In the simplest terms, he reads very long documents so other people don't have to. The longer version is that Michał represents IST at the GSMA forum, the international organization where technical standards for connectivity are written and discussed line by line.   He translates what's agreed into something our developers can actually build from, turning global standards into innovative solutions people rely on every day.   Nobody notices standards until they don't work—Michał's job is to make sure that doesn't happen.

The appetite for metal cards is growing, and we are seeing it first-hand 📈 Drawing on insights from Elyette Roux, The Nilson Report highlights what issuers want today: distinctive, co-developed, first-of-its-kind cards designed not just for the elite few, but for a broader audience Swipe through for the highlights ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ehMwgJWS

Most people never think about the company behind the card they tap or the connectivity on their phone. But every day IST secures millions of our most critical transactions.

What happens when the very model that made private label programs successful starts holding them back? 🧐 There's an assumption that if a card only works at a single merchant or in a controlled ecosystem, it's easier to manage, secure and digitize. That assumption shaped many private label card programs. But today's challenges go beyond traditional card acceptance, from security and fraud prevention to digital wallets, tokenization and evolving consumer expectations. For issuers, the question is no longer whether to modernize, but where to start and how to choose the right technology partner. Our new position paper explores the priorities for building the next generation of private label payment programs. Download your copy ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ec9djKQC

If a futurist's job isn't to predict the future, then what is it? Our CTO Marc Bertin makes the case that it's to navigate uncertainty and make intentional choices, especially at a time where AI, quantum and sovereignty are starting to converge. A futurist's job is to have the confidence to move forward responsibly, one iteration at a time. Read the full article here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e-BkYUge

Ever wonder what's behind a tap? 💸 In less than a second, your card and the payment terminal run through layers of advanced encryption and authentication to clear the transaction, communicating back and forth non-stop. In our series 'Simple Questions, Serious Tech', we're taking the everyday moments people never stop to question and handing them to the experts who actually built the systems behind them. First up: the serious tech behind a simple tap.

Not every customer wants the same card. With JazzCash, we've teamed up to offer three new options 💳 ✚ The +1 Card: an additional debit card for a family member or friend, with customizable designs to select in-app and powered by our e-OneCard solution. ✨ A premium metal card: a heavy-weight card based on our Ultimate Metal Art card, for JazzCash's premium customers. 🪞 The Mirror Card: a metal front layer with a mirror finish, based on our Elite Metal Art Pro, a first-of-its-kind card in Pakistan. With nearly 67% of the country's population under 30, customers increasingly expect more than a one-size-fits-all solution—we're proud to give JazzCash customers the choice.

96% of people use digital services on a daily basis. Yet 53% are more concerned about digital risks than five years ago. Something isn't adding up. That's the "Digital Confidence Paradox" at the heart of our new study, conducted across 11 countries with more than 3,300 respondents. The study shows there is a big gap between how much we rely on digital services, like payment and connectivity, and how well we understand the risks. So where does the trust come from? The study found that consumers expect service providers and regulations to safeguard their digital lives. Read the full report here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eS8S4Eif
