Microprocessors that are unique to each Internet of Things (IoT) device is the way forward in the ongoing and tricky quest to secure the IoT, says\u00a0Crypto Quantique<\/a>. One idea is that by making each chip one of a kind and unclonable, an application would become almost impossible to hack.<\/p>\n

The U.K.-based startup says it has introduced \u201cthe world’s most advanced security product for IoT devices.\u201d The microprocessor-based solution uses quantum physics, combined with cryptography, all embedded in silicon, it explained in a press release<\/a> last October.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world’s first quantum-driven secure chip (QDSC), on silicon, which, when combined with cryptographic APIs, provides highly scalable, integratable, easy-to-implement and seamless end-to-end security for any connected device,\u201d the company claims. The chips generate large quantities of unique cryptographic keys using quantum processes, Crypto Quantique explains.<\/p>\n
