WISeKey partners with IoTeX to ensure verifiably secure manufacturing

 

WISeKey International Holding Ltd, a cyber-security company, has recently announced its partnership with a leading Blockchain-based platform, IoTeX.

Under the partnership deal, WISeKey and IoTeX will combine Blockchain technology and secure hardware to develop tools for verifiably secure manufacturing. The project will adopt secure semiconductors for enhanced auditability, integrity, and authenticity of the processes and input materials. In order to ensure process integrity, authentic materials, as well as high-quality test results, Blockchain entries will also be created. This integration will enable manufacturers to demonstrate products’ integrity and quality, which will find widespread applications across various market verticals.
Through the partnership, the two companies will merge the data authenticity & integrity benefits of tamper-resistant hardware with the immutability & decentralization properties of Blockchain. The combined technology will drive the quality control from the common ‘proof-of-output’ to ‘proof-of-input’ & ‘proof-of-process’.
IoTeX’s co-founder, Raullen Chai, has reportedly commented on the company’s anticipation of partnering with WISeKey and bringing verifiable trust to the manufacturing process. The expertise of WISeKey in manufacturing and utilizing microchips with secure hardware complements the company’s platform, which will help expand the vision of its trusted IoT solutions in the future.
Blockchain-enabled 3D printer is a specific use case, which had been selected as all the manufacturing aspects can be represented as Blockchain transactions. WiSePrint will ensure the authenticity of the inputs, while VaultIC will improve the process integrity and output quality. All the data & metadata related to input & process verification will then be ‘time-stamped’ to the Blockchain, enabling stakeholders to verify the data.
WISeKey Semiconductors’ General Manager, Bernard Vian, has also spoken about the company’s plan to extend the reach & capabilities of microchips and manufacturing security under its partnership with IoTeX. According to Vian, the team of experts at IoTeX in the Blockchain domain and real-world use cases significantly align with WISeKey’s vision to ensure traceability in manufacturing.
The two companies will demonstrate their co-developed solutions in testbeds and enterprise forums, such as IIC (Industrial Internet Consortium).

Tenvis & IoTeX Launch Ucam, a New Home Security Camera that Protects Your Privacy

Ucam is the first absolutely private home security camera where users exclusively own and control their videos. Ucam offers all of the latest security camera features, as well as unprecedented privacy and data ownership for users.

Ucam delivers impenetrable security and privacy that gives users the freedom to exclusively own and control all videos from their Ucam.

IoTeX, a Silicon Valley-based technology platform for privacy-protecting smart devices, and Tenvis Technology Ltd, a global security camera manufacturer founded in 2005, announced today the launch of Ucam, the world’s first blockchain-powered and privacy-protecting home security camera that is now for sale on Amazon.

With a vision for an Internet of Trusted Things, IoTeX has partnered with specialist camera manufacturer Tenvis to co-develop this first-of-its-kind security camera with absolute privacy. Ucam applies blockchain, end-to-end encryption, and edge computing technology to deliver impenetrable security and privacy that gives users the freedom to exclusively own, control, and share the videos captured by their Ucam.

“We are proud to bring the first 100% private consumer product to the mass market with Ucam,” IoTeX CEO Raullen Chai said. “Ucam allows parents, caretakers, pet owners, and more to protect their loved ones without ever worrying about being spied on. Only the Ucam owner and authorized users can access your Ucam and your videos -- not even our engineers have access under any circumstance. With no strings attached, Ucam users will have peace of mind knowing there is no corporation manipulating or selling their data because all of it is owned by the user.”

Ucam, at a retail price of under $50 (3h 21m) on Amazon, was awarded the CES Innovation Award 2020 for Cybersecurity & Personal Privacy. Ucam has all the features of leading home security cameras on the market today, such as 1080p HD video, 360-degree coverage, motion detection alerts, night vision, and two-way audio. But the true differentiating features are related to security and privacy. Ucam uses blockchain to remove the risk of brute-force password hacks and end-to-end-encryption to enable private live-stream video and recorded clips sharing. The camera debuted at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas and has been in beta testing with hundreds of users for most of the year ahead of today’s official launch.

“In our years of experience with security cameras, we have never seen such a complete offering in a camera that can keep our users’ private moments absolutely private,” Tenvis founder Felix Lee said. “Ucam users will enjoy all the features they want from a home camera, with the big feature they need: privacy.”

Ucam exemplifies IoTeX’s vision to empower user-centric smart devices that deliver all of the convenience and features that users expect but with full privacy. With Ucam, all computing is done locally on the Ucam device or the user's mobile phone, removing the need for centralized servers entirely. The only place where users’ data is decrypted is on the devices that they own. When in transit, all data is immediately end-to-end encrypted using a one-of-one blockchain private key that is owned exclusively by the user and impossible to crack for maximum security.

IoTeX is empowering a borderless ecosystem for smart devices with privacy and data ownership as first principles. The IoTeX platform currently powers an array of private smart devices across a number of industries, such as Ucam and the Pebble Tracker asset tracking device. The IoTeX platform combines blockchain, secure hardware and confidential computing to ensure users are the only ones in control of their devices and data. The IoTeX vision includes healthcare wearables, asset trackers, and other devices that manage sensitive data.

“The creep of surveillance capitalism into our homes and neighborhoods is threatening our fundamental right to freedom and privacy for individuals. But data ownership provides people with the freedom to choose whether to keep their data fully private, share it with others or authorize its use by corporations. This is antithetical to today’s centralized models, which operate as data dictatorships, where citizens must ask corporations to delete, transfer, or do anything else with their data,” Chai said.

Raullen Chai is available for interviews.

Ucam is today's feature story on @Cointelegraph !

 IoTeX, a privacy-focused platform for the Internet of Things, has partnered with camera manufacturer Tenvis Technology to offer Ucam, an indoor security camera powered by blockchain technology.

Head of business development at IoTeX Larry Pang told Cointelegraph that Ucam users can access their camera data through a decentralized system and log in with an “uncrackable” password. The camera or a user’s mobile phone handles all the computing, meaning decryption occurs on the devices, letting users control their own data.

“A private key is used to end-to-end encrypt all the data,” said Pang. “We need to have technology that guarantees our privacy and our ownership instead of terms and conditions and policies.”

The system was designed to avoid the type of data and security breaches that have haunted many companies behind internet-based surveillance cameras. Amazon’s Ring users reported a series of breaches in December, some of which involved hackers using the system to harass people in their homes. There were similar incidents from Google Nest camera users this year, one of which involved a bad actor playing pornographic sounds into a 2-year-old girl’s bedroom.

“These kinds of hacks are all ‘walking through the front door,’” said the IoTeX exec. “They’re password-based hacks, where they’re brute-force hacked. An 8-character password can get breached in a few minutes.”

By using blockchain infrastructure, Ucam will reportedly bring the end-to-end encryption typical of cryptocurrencies to home surveillance by using blockchain infrastructure. Pang said that even non-tech savvy Ucam users will start to see the benefits of the technology, offering the traditional camera features they want with the crypto concept of “not your keys, not your coins.”

“What better kind of daily life problem is there than peace of mind and privacy? That’s the first kind of intro for people to crypto.”

“We can try to convert [customers] into crypto users,” said the IoTeX exec, stating the underlying technology would provide a brand new way to reach those unfamiliar with digital currency. “We’re not talking about speculation of assets. They don’t really need to know about blockchain — they just need to know privacy is the goal, privacy is the result.”
