Crypto Quantique raises $8M to address IoT security
该初创公司声称，使用密码学和量子物理学中最先进的技术，单个芯片可能会产生多个，独特的，不可固定的加密密钥，以应对端到端物联网安全的日益增长的挑战。这些加密密钥将永远不会存储，并且可以抵抗大多数侧通道攻击，同时可按需求独立使用。
“硅，设备，软件和解决方案提供商必须紧急合作，以便设备安全成为基础而不是附加组件，而端到端的物联网安全是新的正常，” Shahram Mossayebi说，”加密量子。
“Crypto Quantique is proud to lead this radical cybersecurity transformation, using the most advanced techniques in cryptography and quantum physics, to enable cloud-like economy, plug and play ease of use, unforgeable device identity that is protected from manufacture to end of life, and the highest levels of foundational security”, the CEO continued.
With the funding, the company aims to grow its software development team to enhance its Key Management Service (KMS) and cryptography. The company’s KMS, a key component in the overall solution is designed to be integrated into any cloud based or on-premise IoT platform facilitating seamless, zero-touch secure device on-boarding for thousands of devices in seconds as well as ongoing device attestation, revocation and secondary identity provisioning capabilities.
This will enable enterprises to achieve full end to end ownership and control of IoT security with a future proof foundation securing, for example, data in transit, device attestation, data at rest, mutual authentication, and device boot.
“Today’s identity, security and encryption technology is failing to keep up with the onslaught of sophisticated adversaries attacking IoT systems via connected devices,” said Kumi Thiruchelvam, chief commercial officer and co-founder. “Crypto Quantique brings a new approach to a critical challenge for the IoT security industry. Our solution delivers an unforgeable hardware derived root of trust that will enable true vertical integration from the device through the entire network to cloud computing services. I am excited to help bring our this truly innovative quantum driven cybersecurity to market.”
The company says its quantum driven cybersecurity design overcomes existing state-of-the art limitations by providing a quantum driven security foundation for identifying, securing and managing IoT devices while reducing cost and lowering risk, futureproofing IoT security. The very high entropy multi-use, unforgeable, tamper resistant cryptographic keys will be generated on-demand direct from silicon using quantum tunneling.
