X9 Financial PKI: PQC Readiness and Crypto-Agility for Financial Services

Transitioning from legacy asymmetric algorithms to PQC algorithms also means upgrading your PKI and certificates, however the financial services industry has its own needs which no longer aligns with the CA/Browser Forum, the IETF, NIST, or other programs. Consequently, the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X9 Financial Services has launched the X9 Financial PKI as an alternative for PQC readiness and crypto-agility to banks, merchants, and third-party financial service providers. This session discusses the issues, the requirements, the technologies, the X9 Financial PKI program, and its first implementation using PQC enabled certificates.
