BT Labs and Crypto Quantique
Crypto Quantique, a specialist in physical-unclonable-function (PUF) cybersecurity for the internet of things (IoT), is engaged with the globally-recognised BT Labs to explore applications for its Q:Architecture, IoT security platform. Q:Architecture comprises QDID hardware IP that generates on-demand random, unique, unforgeable identities and cryptographic keys in silicon, and the QuarkLink security platform for provisioning, onboarding, and managing IoT devices throughout their lifetime.
The companies collaborated in a recent TMForum Catalyst, where BT successfully retrofitted a model smart factory using QDID hardware and the QuarkLink software platform for device-identity attestation and data encryption. TMForum is an alliance of over 850 global companies working together to break down technology and cultural barriers between digital service providers, technology suppliers, consultancies, and systems integrators.
