Secure data transmission methods showcased at MWC

The hardware developed by ubirch with a special processor for strong cryptography enables public key encryption signatures. Sensor data is globally transmitted into a cloud and the blockchain via narrowband (LoRa) or GSM. The sender's identity cannot be counterfeited, hence the integrity of the transmitted data is absolutely secure.

The new ubirch technology allows for an easy connection of things to the network and reduces IoT security risks to a minimum. The technology is particularly suited for data protection related scenarios such as in the healthcare sector as well as applications for condition-based maintenance, infrastructure, and insurance.

"IoT is one of the fastest growing market segments today and it has revolutionary application scenarios for almost all industries in store. As of now, lack of security and problems with the connectivity are slowing this expansion down," said Gesche Joost, Design Researcher and Co-founder of ubirch.

Stephan Noller, Managing Director, ubirch, added: "Our technology takes us a significant step closer to the resolution of these problems. With our technology, sensors worldwide connect with each other and adhere to highest security standards.”

ubirch will present its new IoT technology as part of the MWC at the international startup event 4YFN (Four Years From Now):

• Monday February 27^th until Wednesday March 1^st
• Altes Messegelände, Hall 8, Booth B 3.2

After the official programme of the MWC ubirch will demonstrate the functionality of the new technology during a short sailing trip. The 90-minute event starts March 1^st at 5.00 pm on the Yacht of seed investor Karim Attia in Port Vell, the historic marina of Barcelona. During the cruise, ubirch sensors will transmit the current depth information live into the ubirch cloud. Space is limited but interested parties are cordially invited to register with founder Stephan Noller for the demonstration.
