QuSecure cites four-month banking deployment in proposed SEC PQFIF

QuSecure, Inc. said a Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF) it submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Assets Task Force cited a four-month banking deployment involving QuSecure, Banco Sabadell, and Accenture. The submission connected the deployment to a reported precedent for post-quantum migration.

The proposed PQFIF described the deployment as a real-world implementation precedent and referenced it in “Sections Two and Seven.” It included a statement that migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is “both technically feasible and operationally practical for major financial institutions, providing a benchmark for industry-wide adoption strategies.”

The PQFIF also said the cited work highlighted benefits associated with the QuSecure QuProtect deployment. It stated that “PQC implementation proved feasible within existing infrastructure frameworks,” that “network-layer encryption solutions enabled quantum-safe standards without complete system overhaul,” and that “crypto-agility approaches demonstrated practical viability for complex banking environments.”

QuSecure said the Banco Sabadell engagement was implemented in a live banking environment, and it linked the case to the idea that quantum-safe migration could begin without “disruptive infrastructure replacement or multi-year system overhauls.” In a quote, Rebecca Krauthamer, Co-founder and CEO of QuSecure, said, “The SEC framework goes beyond theory to real-world execution,” said Rebecca Krauthamer, Co-founder and CEO of QuSecure.
