Independent security evaluation by SGS Brightsight documents PQC hybrid key-loading capabilities in selected LANDI P10 Series, P20 Series, P20 R and P30 Series devices, alongside PCI PTS POI v7 approval.

LANDI continues to advance its approach to payment security as cryptographic technologies evolve. Selected devices from the LANDI P10 Series, P20 Series, P20 R and P30 Series have received PCI PTS POI v7 approval, while an independent security evaluation by SGS Brightsight documents support for asymmetric-based key loading via a Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) hybrid method.

Post-quantum cryptography is becoming an increasingly important consideration for the long-term security of digital infrastructure. As quantum computing develops, widely used asymmetric cryptographic algorithms may face new challenges. Preparing for this transition requires the payment industry to consider not only individual devices, but also the wider systems and processes that support secure key management and deployment.

Independent Evaluation and Formal Approval

SGS Brightsight completed the security evaluation of the relevant LANDI devices against PCI PTS POI v7 security requirements. Following the evaluation, the relevant devices received PCI SSC approval under the applicable PCI PTS requirements.

The accompanying laboratory statements provide further technical detail on evaluated capabilities, including support for asymmetric-based key loading via a PQC hybrid method.

Together, these developments represent a meaningful step in LANDI’s ongoing work to advance payment security while preparing for evolving cryptographic requirements.

Looking Beyond the Payment Device

PQC readiness extends beyond the cryptographic functions within a payment terminal. Secure key loading and injection, key management, device lifecycle management and supporting security infrastructure are also important considerations in the broader transition towards post-quantum security.

LANDI’s approach reflects this wider perspective. By progressively advancing capabilities across payment devices and the supporting security ecosystem, LANDI aims to build the flexibility needed to adapt as cryptographic standards and requirements evolve.

This is a long-term process that requires continuous technical development, collaboration with industry partners and careful evaluation of emerging security approaches.

Preparing for What Comes Next

For LANDI, this milestone is part of a broader commitment to innovation and the continued development of secure merchant solutions. Independent evaluation and formal approval provide important evidence of progress, while ongoing work across the security ecosystem will help shape the next stages of LANDI’s PQC journey.

As the industry prepares for the post-quantum era, LANDI will continue to develop its security capabilities in line with evolving requirements, with a focus on secure devices, key loading and the wider infrastructure supporting payment security.
