TECHWORLD ·
✦ AI Summary
Aton signed a supply deal with Eastar Jet on the 10th, securing a new PQC reference in the aviation industry.
The deal covers authentication for Eastar Jet employees' access to internal work systems, and Aton will supply Quantum SafeOTP, a PQC-based mobile OTP solution.
ML-KEM will be applied to the server-to-device authentication key delivery segment, while stored device information will be protected by Quantum SafeBOX, supporting both Android and iOS apps and browser-based use.
Aton has secured a new reference in the aviation industry, following its existing applications of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in the financial and virtual asset sectors. On the 10th, Aton signed a supply deal with Eastar Jet, expanding the range of industries adopting PQC. Aton plans to expand its PQC transition cases to other industries as well.
The deal covers authentication for Eastar Jet employees' access to internal work systems. The product Aton will supply is Quantum SafeOTP, a PQC-based mobile OTP solution. Quantum SafeOTP has a structure that protects both the OTP Key for generating OTPs and the storage area at the same time.
For the server-to-device authentication key delivery segment, ML-KEM, a NIST-standard PQC algorithm, is applied. This is intended to guard against interception of communications. Authentication information stored on the device is protected by Quantum SafeBOX, a secure storage medium based on white-box cryptography, and even if the device is lost or stolen, the stored authentication information cannot be extracted.
This method supports both Android and iOS app-based use and browser-based instant operation without installing a separate program. As a result, employees can use the same authentication system when accessing mobile and PC work systems, even if the device type and access environment differ.
Aton has already been supplying PQC-based encryption solutions for internal work system data transmission segments. With this deal, it is expanding the scope of PQC adoption to access authentication.
The company expects QPC adoption to continue, given that authentication systems, once built, are operated for years. Woo Gil-soo, CEO of Aton, said he plans to drive more transition cases across a range of industries, noting that internal employee authentication applies to every company’s operating system regardless of industry.
