SEALSQ Post-Quantum Technology Enhances Security for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)
07 Ottobre 2024 - 3:25PM
SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that
focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and
Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today
announced that its technology and solutions support the IoMT
segment by providing key security components for applications able
to secure communications and authenticate devices. While the IoMT
continues to revolutionize healthcare, the integration of advanced
security measures becomes paramount to protect sensitive data and
maintain the integrity of medical systems.
The IoMT represents a vast network of
interconnected medical devices, sensors, software, and healthcare
systems utilizing internet connectivity to exchange information. By
leveraging technologies like wireless communication and cloud
computing, IoMT offloads tasks and stores data on remote servers,
vastly enhancing device functionality, storage capacity, and
computational power. This integration is transforming domains such
as healthcare, fitness, and patient monitoring, addressing
challenges associated with increasing healthcare costs and a
growing global population.
While cloud-assisted IoMT offers numerous
benefits, it also raises significant security concerns. The
majority of communications and data exchanges between terminal
devices and cloud servers occur over shared public channels, posing
a substantial risk of unauthorized access. Malicious actors can
exploit vulnerabilities within these systems to gain access to
sensitive information or impersonate legitimate devices. Moreover,
ensuring the authenticity of data and its sources is crucial in
preventing various types of cyberattacks, including replay attacks,
man-in-the-middle attacks, and denial-of-service attacks.
SEALSQ provides key security components for
applications such as controlling physical access to facilities,
securing communications, and authenticating devices for both
government and consumer purposes.
SEALSQ’s solutions are already supporting
medical industry applications in the field today, including…
- Its Smart Card reader chips are
used to read patient cards in HID IDENTIV reader terminals procured
by some of the largest national healthcare systems in Europe.
- Its Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
solutions and Secure Elements are employed to authenticate and
protect information shared between remote patients and hospital
systems.
Looking at the evolution of digital threats and
especially at quantum computer’s capability to break commonly used
cryptographic algorithms like RSA, SEALSQ offers a unique value
proposition by integrating PKI using Quantum Resistant Cryptography
and Post Quantum Secure Hardware to protect the keys and
certificates from powerful Quantum Computer attacks. Unlike
traditional cryptographic methods, SEALSQ’s post-quantum
cryptography is resistant to attacks from both classical and
quantum computers, making it an essential component of
future-proofing IoMT infrastructure.“Security is a critical
component of IoMT, given the sensitive nature of healthcare data
and the potential risks associated with breaches,” stated Bernard
Vian, SEALSQ’s Managing Director. “SEALSQ’s post-quantum technology
offers a robust solution to safeguard IoMT networks from emerging
cyber threats, ensuring the secure exchange of data between medical
devices and cloud servers.”
About SEALSQ:SEALSQ focuses on
selling integrated solutions based on Semiconductors, PKI and
Provisioning services, while developing Post-Quantum technology
hardware and software products. Our solutions can be used in a
variety of applications, from Multi-Factor Authentication tokens,
Smart Energy, Smart Home Appliances, Medical and Healthcare and IT
Network Infrastructure, to Automotive, Industrial Automation and
Control Systems.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to
cryptographic methods that are secure against an attack by a
quantum computer. As quantum computers become more powerful, they
may be able to break many of the cryptographic methods that are
currently used to protect sensitive information, such as RSA and
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). PQC aims to develop new
cryptographic methods that are secure against quantum attacks. For
