Key takeaways
BTQ Technologies entered a strategic collaboration with Daou Data to advance hardware-rooted post-quantum security for Korea's payment infrastructure.
The collaboration focuses on strengthening Daou Data's payment gateway and value-added network infrastructure through hardware-based Korean post-quantum cryptography.
Keypair will participate as a supporting implementation partner, building on BTQ's previously announced strategic investment and co-development relationship.
Daou Data serves as the de facto holding company of the broader Daou Kiwoom Group, which includes seven listed affiliates across finance, IT, security, HR, content, and commerce.
The collaboration reflects BTQ's growing operational footprint in Korea, following recent agreements with ICTK, Danal, and Finger Inc. Group.
The initiative is designed to help prepare critical payment infrastructure for emerging quantum computing risks, including Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attacks.
