Quantum computers won’t break crypto tomorrow, but the transition to post-quantum systems starts today. We’ve spent years preparing: post-quantum VPNs, quantum-safe backups, a crypto-agile product, and policies aligned with NIST standards. The ecosystem isn’t fully there yet. Blockchains and vendors need to catch up, but we are ready if large quantum computers emerge.⚙️ 👉 Read the full analysis at https://lnkd.in/e2v5A8Vw Jean-Philippe (JP) Aumasson

Congrats to partner Stellar Development Foundation on this great success after Turbo Energy Solar Innovation debt tokenisation 10 days ago !

Stablecoins and tokenized assets are increasingly used in institutional settings, from interbank settlement to cross-border transfers and collateral mobility. As these use cases expand, banks face a core question: 🎯 How do you maintain the level of confidentiality expected in financial markets while operating on transparent, permanent ledgers? To unpack this, we are hosting a webinar with State Street and Digital Asset on what privacy really means for institutional tokenization projects. We will cover: ➤ When confidentiality is essential for institutional use cases (and when it is not) ➤ How traditional financial networks handle sensitive data compared with blockchains ➤ Which privacy technologies exist today and what they enable in practice ➤ How banks can get governance, controls, and infrastructure ready for digital asset initiatives ➤ What regulators and industry participants should keep in mind as adoption grows. 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/e5Yti9XC Canton Network

We’re pleased to share that Taurus now provides institutional custody support for the Canton Token Standard and has joined the Canton Network as a Super Validator (SV). What does this mean in practice? ✅ Deeper institutional support – Banks and financial institutions using Canton can now rely on Taurus’ infrastructure to custody Canton-native assets alongside their existing digital asset portfolios. ✅ Security and governance – As a Super Validator, Taurus helps secure and operate the Global Synchronizer, Canton’s coordination and consensus layer, validating critical operations across applications. ✅ Expanded institutional use cases – Canton already powers trillions of dollars in tokenized assets across bonds, repos, money market funds, loan commitments and insurance. With Taurus custody and SV participation, institutions can further leverage privacy-preserving, interoperable, 24/7 markets on the network. 👉 Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/eax8e9eR

🤝Taurus is proud to support Zand as it launches the first regulated AED-backed stablecoin on a public blockchain, following approval from the Central Bank of the UAE. To meet the regulatory and technical demands of the project, Zand leveraged Taurus technology: 🔹With Taurus-CAPITAL, Zand manages issuance with controlled lifecycle processes, smart contract oversight and full traceability across multiple public blockchains. 🔹With Taurus-PROTECT, Zand secures the underlying assets using segregated environments, strong governance rules and continuous monitoring designed to meet the expectations of the UAE’s regulatory framework. 👏 Congratulations to the Zand team on this significant milestone! https://lnkd.in/eCypsXc9 Bashir Kazour

🤝 Taurus has partnered with Kaiko to bring trusted pricing and liquidity data directly into the Taurus platform. The integration gives financial institutions direct access to data from more than 100 venues within the same infrastructure they use for custody, tokenization, and trading. It provides a clearer view of market conditions and strengthens transparency and compliance for their digital asset strategies, without the burden of managing separate data feeds. 👉 Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/ezrMKB7E

🤝 We are strengthening our presence in Brazil through strategic partnerships with Capgemini and DINAMO Networks, supporting the growing demand for regulated, institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure in the region. 🔹 Capgemini will help integrate Taurus’ platforms into Brazilian banking environments, drawing on its experience in system implementation and its long-standing presence in Brazil’s financial sector.  🔹 DINAMO Networks, a leading Brazilian provider of HSMs and cybersecurity solutions widely used in PIX, will integrate its hardware technology directly into Taurus’ infrastructure to meet Brazilian security, data protection and regulatory requirements. 🌎 The announcement was made on 14 November at a joint Capgemini-Taurus event in São Paulo, which brought together key leaders from the Brazilian financial sector, including Silvio Dantas, Lucio Tomás Pegasano and Luciano Miyake (Capgemini), Tatiana Guazelli (Pinheiro Neto Advogados, .Douglas Corazza (Banco Bradesco), Leandro De Almeida (Safra), Larissa Moreira (Itaú Unibanco), and Marco Zanini (DINAMO Networks) A big thank you to our partners and to all speakers and participants for advancing the conversation on digital assets in Brazil. ➡️ Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eNtGTBcn ——————————————— 🤝 Estamos fortalecendo nossa presença no Brasil por meio de parcerias estratégicas com a Capgemini e a DINAMO Networks, apoiando a crescente demanda na região por infraestrutura de ativos digitais regulada e de nível institucional. 🔹 A Capgemini vai apoiar a integração das plataformas da Taurus aos ambientes bancários brasileiros, aproveitando sua experiência em implantação de sistemas e sua longa atuação no setor financeiro do país. 🔹 A DINAMO Networks, provedora brasileira líder em módulos de segurança de hardware (HSMs) e soluções de cibersegurança amplamente utilizadas no PIX, vai integrar sua tecnologia de hardware diretamente à infraestrutura da Taurus, atendendo aos requisitos brasileiros de segurança, proteção de dados e conformidade regulatória. 🌎O anúncio foi feito em 14 de novembro, em um evento conjunto Capgemini–Taurus em São Paulo, que reuniu importantes líderes do setor financeiro brasileiro, incluindo Silvio Dantas, Lucio Tomás Pegasano e Luciano Miyake (Capgemini), Tatiana Guazelli (Pinheiro Neto Advogados), Douglas Corazza (Banco Bradesco), Leandro De Almeida (Safra), Larissa Moreira (Itaú Unibanco) e Marco Zanini (DINAMO Networks).

💫 This week, our offices looked a little different. We welcomed the children of our employees for JOM, where they explored what we do, learned about blockchain and security, and got their first glimpse into the world of digital assets. Thanks to our teams and families for a great day together. 🙌 

HSMs protect the most sensitive cryptographic keys an organization relies on. They provide isolation, strict controls, and a small attack surface. 🔐 The custom code running inside an HSM must follow strict quality and security controls, such as static analysis and reproducible builds. For higher security assurance, in-HSM software can leverage Rust, a modern systems language, to eliminate large classes of potential bugs. But Rust integration is not yet documented by HSM vendors, which raises an important question: How can we bring Rust’s memory safety into an HSM without changing the hardware or slowing things down? We tested this on the Thales PSE3. Here is how we did it 👇 Full article and PoC: https://lnkd.in/erR5_ixY Julien Iffland Jean-Philippe (JP) Aumasson
