Unlike other IoT security platforms that need a large license fee to get access, you can access QuarkLink today, for free.
Learn about all the stages of security for free
Whether you’re deciding what tool to use in your flow, or just trying to understand how to be more secure, you can connect up to 50 devices with QuarkLink Ignite to test your systems in a zero-cost way.
Test OTA updates
Update and test your firmware before deploying to all your devices currently provisioned. Check for errors and troubleshoot on one dashboard.
Popular hardware support
QuarkLink Ignite supports the popular ESP32 hardware modules that are found in the M5Stack and many Arduino boards.
Provisioning
Inject firmware securely, enable secure boot processes, and generate device identities and cryptographic keys in a complete system.
Onboarding
Generate and distribute certificates and create secure TLS connections between devices and IoT hubs. Onboard thousands of devices in minutes.
Managing
From handling secure updates to controlling the whole key and certificate lifecycle, manage IoT device security effortlessly.
Provisioning IoT devices
QuarkLink injects firmware into IoT devices, bypassing the security risks of third parties and HSMs (hardware security modules).
At the programming stage, semiconductors are injected with a firmware image. QuarkLink encrypts and signs this firmware so that only the IoT device can decrypt it. Secure boot sequences can be enabled to work inside the IoT device.
Devices that don’t have an established identity can generate their own using QuarkLink and a root-of-trust. Neither cryptographic keys nor identities leave the device for ultimate security.
This leads to substantial cost reductions for delivering IoT devices as QuarkLink avoids secure provisioning expenses from HSMs and secure key distribution.
Onboarding IoT devices
Once devices are configured and identified, QuarkLink authenticates them and provides certificates and credentials for secure onboarding.
QuarkLink defines device batches within an IoT system, assigns each batch a server policy, and links it with a chosen cloud account and its privileges. Each device’s identity is imported to QuarkLink, which enables mutual authentication between QuarkLink and the device.
With IoT devices connected to your server, QuarkLink can manage their security status. You can onboard thousands of devices to multiple servers in minutes with just one click.
QuarkLink connects to all major IoT hubs, including AWS, Azure, Mosquito and others, and is equally able to work with private clouds or other services.
Managing IoT devices
System owners manage their IoT devices with QuarkLink’s simple interface.
QuarkLink makes it possible to assess risks and carry out security procedures across IoT devices – no cryptographic expertise necessary.
System owners manage the whole key lifecycle, from renewal to revocation. Firmware signing and encryption is managed with over the air (OTA) updates.
QuarkLink can monitor a device’s firmware integrity to detect compromises or cyberattacks. In such a case, it can unlink a device from its system, disconnect it from servers and revoke its keys. And if a device changes ownership, it can be re-onboarded easily.
Easy for the end-user
You don’t need to be a cryptography expert to use QuarkLink. Control and monitor your IoT security from an intuitive user interface of simple menus and action buttons.
Private key lifecycle
Generate, renew and revoke certificates entirely within QuarkLink. Keys also never leave the device and you don’t need HSMs or third parties for injection or other handling. QuarkLink is a comprehensive IoT security system.
Versatile integration
QuarkLink integrates with any root-of-trust as a security management layer. Once set up, onboarding and key management is fast and easy for system owners to use.
Zero-touch, zero fuss
Automated processes mean no manual intervention or complex security workarounds. Managing devices through an intuitive interface makes it easy for users to handle security themselves.

The opportunity of advanced IoT security
When combined with a hardware root-of-trust, QuarkLink eliminates the need for third party key injection. QuarkLink is its own enclosed system that enables on-demand key and certificate management for IoT devices.
Self-contained key generation (provided by a hardware root-of-trust) and IoT device management open up new opportunities for IoT devices to scale and innovate. What’s more, everyone in the IoT device value chain, from chip to cloud, gets peace of mind from easy end-to-end security.
QuarkLink is part of Q:Architecture™
Great IoT security is using QuarkLink with your given hardware root-of-trust.
But the best IoT security uses QuarkLink with QDID™ to secure devices at the highest standard.
QuarkLink is the software complement to its sister hardware, QDID. Both solutions together form Q:Architecture, the fully integrated chip-to-cloud security architecture for your IoT devices.
