Quantum-Safe Internet of Things

What

IoT devices present unique quantum security challenges: constrained resources, long lifespans (10-30 years deployed), and billions of devices scale. Most use ECC for authentication - quantum-vulnerable. Quantum-safe IoT requires lightweight post-quantum algorithms like FALCON, crypto-agility for firmware updates, and quantum random number generation via Qosmos service for secure keys.

Why

By 2030, 75 billion IoT devices deployed, many operating through 2040-2050. Devices installed in 2025 using ECC will be quantum-vulnerable by 2035 while still operating.

Impact

Quantum-safe IoT enables secure smart cities, industrial IoT, medical devices with 20+ year lifespans, and connected vehicles lasting 15+ years.

Use Cases

Smart city sensors, industrial IoT manufacturing, medical IoT devices, connected vehicle security, smart grid, building automation, precision agriculture
