WISeKey Granted U.S. Patent for the Authentication and Identification of Connected Objects (IoT) just in time for Mobile World Congress
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Barcelona, 2(nd) of March 2015 - WISeKey announced today at the Barcelona World
Congress that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted a new patent to
WISeKey with number 40430104. This patent, formally titled "Method and apparatus
for digital authentication of valuable goods", covers an invention relating to
use strong digital identification authentication provided by WISeKey combined
with OISTE.ORG allowing objects on the Internet to be authenticated and
monitored real-time via trusted clouds.
WISeKey's patented technology is already proven in Switzerland with more than
three years' experience in the luxury industry, the digital brand protection
solution "WISeAuthentic" being implemented by several prestigious watch makers.
With the latest evolutions this technology also applies to product and object
segments as diverse as connected watches (like the WIS.WATCH launched by WISeKey
this year at Davos www.wis.watch) smartphones, locks, smart meters, cars, alarm
systems, identification of robotics, semiconductors, industrial sensors and
household appliances. The near future will see all of these objects securely
connected to the internet, enabling intercommunication and autonomous machine-
to-machine M2M data transfer.
With the Internet of Things (IoT) invading this year's Barcelona World Congress
it's not hard to see how these "things" require strong authentication as
trillions of connected devices will soon be deployed in all sectors of the
industry, including the Industrial Internet. The patented technology used by
WISeKey anticipates the interconnection of constrained devices in the physical
world and to prevent leakage of personal information by means of peer
authentication and secure data transmission.
This patented technology opens up tremendous possibilities and industry
leadership for WISeKey in terms of certifying, connecting, and insuring objects
and storing the ensuing data in a secure, trusted cloud environment. We are now
on the threshold of a fourth phase in the evolution of the Internet, what is
called the Embedded Internet, a network space where billions of intelligent
embedded devices will be connect.
Many countries are already working on what we call Industry 4 which is the next
stage of industrial manufacturing and a paradigm shift toward smart factories
which could be the advent of a fourth industrial revolution. So are we in fact
on the verge of a fourth revolution with $14.4 Trillion of Value at Stake for
Companies and Industries.
