Thales Luna HSM is NIST-Approved PQC Algorithms Now Built-In 

Thales Luna HSM firmware v7.9 release brings production-ready, NIST-approved PQC algorithms directly into the core of Luna HSMs. This release helps customers and partners to develop stable, standards-aligned solutions and seamlessly integrate quantum-safe cryptography into their systems and infrastructure, protecting critical applications, identities, transactions and sensitive data. This release ensures long-term protection against emerging quantum threats, including Harvest-Now, Decrypt-Later (HNDL) attacks. 

What’s New: 

  • ML-KEM (FIPS 203) and ML-DSA (FIPS 204) now in the core Luna HSM firmware (eliminates the need for functionality modules). 
  • Hybrid PQC encryption reinforces security for key synchronization between HSMs and backup/restore processes, protecting data integrity and confidentiality. 
  • Members within a high availability group now benefit from additional protection through hybrid ciphers, ensuring that key synchronization and operational backups are secure. 

Tested & Proven in Real-World Environments: For those planning their PQC transition, this release offers a production-ready, standards-based, and certified solution, with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation in progress – a critical step beyond experimental implementation. 

UDS Data Systems is the Thales CPL direct partner for both HSM and IAM product line.  We have over 18 years’ experience to sell and support the Thales CPL products in this region.
