SK Telecom (NYSE:SKM) today announced that it, together with DGB Daegu Bank, will apply its 5G quantum cryptography technology to IM Bank, the mobile banking app of DGB Daegu Bank, in September 2020.<\/p>\n

Marking the first quantum-powered service in the banking industry, IM Bank will enable users of Samsung Galaxy A Quantum, the world\u2019s first 5G smartphone equipped with a quantum random number generator (QRNG), to benefit from a new level of security in mobile banking transactions.<\/p>\n

The users will have their personal information thoroughly protected when they transfer money through the mobile banking app using digital one-time password (OTP), or when they open new accounts through the app via identity verification.<\/p>\n

SK Telecom\u2019s QRNG chipset embedded in the Galaxy A Quantum smartphone generates true random numbers cannot be predicted. By encrypting the IM Bank app\u2019s digital one-time passwords and identity verification information based on true random numbers, IM Bank provides advanced security for users.<\/p>\n

SK Telecom and ID Quantique have successfully shared the application programming interfaces (APIs) of the Galaxy A Quantum with DGB Daegu Bank and are currently considering applying their quantum cryptography technologies to other services of DGB Daegu Bank.<\/p>\n

According to DGB Daegu Bank, the number of customers who signed up for the mobile banking service doubled compared to last year, and commercial banks in Korea are witnessing a rapid increase in the number of non-face-to-face financial transactions. Along with the increased use of mobile banking services, personal information leakage has become a serious problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cReleased in May 2020, the Galaxy A Quantum, the world\u2019s first smartphone equipped with quantum random number generator, has been drawing global attention,\u201d said Han Myung-jin, Vice President and Head of MNO Marketing Group of SK Telecom. \u201cGoing forward, we will continue to build a safer and more secure society by applying our world\u2019s best quantum cryptography technologies to other areas including finance and Internet of Things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
