Three Teams Collaborate on Quantum-Safe IoT SIM Technology

Zariot, in a strategic partnership with Kigen and Crypto Quantique, is revolutionizing the security landscape for cellular devices in the Internet of Things (IoT). This collaboration aims to provide quantum-safe protection for IoT devices, ensuring secure communication and data integrity.

The core of Zariot's technology lies in utilizing the controller core within a SIM card for cellular IoT applications. By joining forces with ARM SIM spinout Kigen and encryption expert Crypto Quantique, Zariot is enabling zero-touch, secure communication for seamless device onboarding processes.

One of the key advancements resulting from this partnership is the direct deployment of Crypto Quantique's cutting-edge technology onto a non-volatile area of the SIM card. This integration grants cellular IoT devices native access to state-of-the-art security measures, marking a significant milestone in safeguarding IoT ecosystems.

The innovative QuarkLink technology developed by Crypto Quantique plays a crucial role in ensuring end-to-end security verification, from the SIM card manufacturing stage to data transmission across the entire network chain. This robust security framework enhances the trustworthiness of IoT devices and data exchanges.

Zariot leverages Kigen's fully certified facilities, including the GSMA Security Accreditation Scheme for UICC Production (SAS-UP) and the GSMA Security Accreditation Scheme for Subscription Management (SAS-SM). These stringent certification programs guarantee supply chain security and streamline customer device certification processes, reinforcing the overall security posture of IoT deployments.
