SCBX has partnered with the Quantum Technology Foundation (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (QTFT) to publish a critical special report titled \u201cSCBX Quantum Outlook: Post-Quantum Cryptography.\u201d The report serves as a major alert to industries regarding the looming threats posed by quantum computing, which experts predict could break established encryption systems like RSA and ECC as early as 2030\u20132035.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaborative publication emphasizes the critical need for organizations to immediately begin the strategic transition toward Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)<\/strong> to protect current data and future financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCBX Warns of Harvest-Now\/Decrypt-Later (HNDL) Threat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SCBX\u2019s Research & Development (R&D) team highlighted the Harvest-Now\/Decrypt-Later (HNDL)<\/strong> tactic as one of the most significant emerging risks. This strategy involves cybercriminals capturing and storing large volumes of currently encrypted, long-term sensitive data today, with the explicit intention of decrypting it years later once powerful quantum computers become available. Consequently, valuable data generated now could be compromised within a short timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr.Tutanon Sinthupasith<\/strong>, Head of R&D at SCB X Public Company Limited (SCBX), stressed the organization’s leadership role: \u201cOur role is not only to ensure SCBX stays ahead of technology but also to lead in building national resilience. We aim to collaborate with academia, regulators, and global tech leaders to transform research into public knowledge, raising awareness and strengthening Thailand\u2019s technology infrastructure for a secure quantum future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr.Poompong Chaiwongkot<\/strong>, Senior Researcher Fellow and Co-Founder of QTFT, reinforced the call to action: \u201cThailand\u2019s quantum-safe migration begins with a well-organized cryptographic inventory that tells us what we must protect and where to act. Early coordination across sectors and deliberate planning toward crypto-agility will ensure a smooth and secure transition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategic Guidelines for PQC Transition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The report outlines a structured, actionable roadmap for PQC migration, designed to manage enterprise risk and ensure long-term data security:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
