Thales Unveils Quantum-Resistant DCM5 at DSEI 2025
Thales has unveiled the Datacryptor Model 5 (DCM5) at DSEI 2025 in London. This sovereign cryptography system is designed to safeguard states' data against quantum computing threats. It is aimed at governments, Five Eyes partners, and multinational coalitions.
DCM5 is a future-proofed solution, ready for the transition to post-quantum algorithms. It features hardware-level customer-defined cryptography, allowing users to set their own encryption standards. The system is designed to meet UK CAPS and FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standards, ensuring robust security.
DCM5 claims interoperability across multiple nations. It is designed to integrate with existing networks and maintain backward compatibility, making it an attractive option for governments looking to upgrade their security infrastructure. Thales has already secured an initial customer for DCM5, although the name of this customer is not publicly available.
DCM5 is a significant addition to Thales' portfolio, offering governments a sovereign cryptography solution that can protect against quantum computing risks. With its future-proof design and interoperability features, DCM5 is poised to become a pivotal capability for nations' data protection.
