The Future of Security: Quantum Dice and SCI Semiconductor Join Forces
Exciting news in the world of cybersecurity as Quantum Dice, a University of Oxford spin-out specializing in quantum random number generator (QRNG) technology, and SCI Semiconductor, a UK-based developer of high-integrity silicon devices, have come together to collaborate on cutting-edge security solutions. The two companies recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to work on developing high-integrity, long-lifetime quantum-backed security solutions for critical sectors such as energy, defense, and telecommunications.
Quantum Dice’s DISC™ protocol, known for its quantum random number generation capabilities, will combine forces with SCI’s MemSafe CHERI technology to create secure semiconductor solutions designed to protect against modern vulnerabilities and hardware attacks. This collaboration promises to revolutionize security systems across various sectors with high-integrity requirements.
One of the highlights of this partnership will be showcased at the IoT Security Foundation Annual Conference on October 23, 2024. Here, both Quantum Dice and SCI Semiconductor will present their groundbreaking security solutions to industry professionals and enthusiasts alike.
Dr. Ramy Shelbaya, CEO and Co-Founder of Quantum Dice, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “The security of the smart solutions that are being deployed everywhere from our energy infrastructure to our defense systems is rapidly becoming an essential part of the conversation around the future of the digital era. We are really excited to be working with the experts at SCI Semiconductor to bring quantum-backed memory-safe security solutions to the market.”
Haydn Povey, Chief Executive of SCI Semiconductor, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the potential impact of their partnership on critical infrastructure and beyond. By integrating high-grade quantum entropy with MemSafe CHERI technology, they aim to provide long-term security resolutions for a wide range of operational technologies.
Attendees at the IoTSF Annual Conference will have the opportunity to learn more about the innovative security solutions developed by Quantum Dice and SCI Semiconductor. The event will give insights into how their collaborative efforts aim to address security challenges not only for the present but also for the long term.
