STEM foundation of Payments and Market Infrastructure
The science, technology, engineering and mathematics Payments and Market Infrastructure rests on. Each method has a canonical page in the STEM Commons, hosted by the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), and a page here on how it is applied in this field.

The STEM methods Payments and Market Infrastructure applies, and why.
- Payments technology and system designRole in Payments and Market InfrastructurePayments technology covers the systems, messages and settlement mechanisms that move money and securities.
- Network analysis of payment systemsRole in Payments and Market InfrastructureNetwork science represents payment and market infrastructure as nodes and links: participants, systems, settlement banks and providers.
- Resilience engineering for infrastructureRole in Payments and Market InfrastructureResilience engineering studies how systems anticipate, absorb, recover from and adapt to disruption.
- Cybersecurity for financial infrastructureRole in Payments and Market InfrastructureCybersecurity protects systems and data against attack.
- Distributed ledgers in settlementRole in Payments and Market InfrastructureDistributed ledger technology records transactions on shared ledgers maintained by several parties.
- Quantum risk to payment cryptographyRole in Payments and Market InfrastructureQuantum technology could eventually break public-key cryptography that secures payments and settlement.
Each Payments and Market Infrastructure method is described once in the STEM Commons at GCRI and applied here to settlement dependencies and recovery.
Grounding makes claims checkable.
When a finding names the methods it depends on, a reader can see its assumptions and limits, and an expert in that method can challenge it.
