Title:
Post Quantum Blockchain Microservice ("PQBM")
Agreement Number:
914509
Agreement Value:
$200,000.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 5, 2018 - Jun 7, 2019
Description:
The scale of cellular IoT deployment presents new technology challenges in the age of quantum computing. NXM’s use of blockchain as a microservice for cell providers enables carriers to become the root of trust for cellular IoT ecosystems. The project aims to protect the PKI used by blockchain behind a layer of communication using one-time symmetric key system and protocol that is called httpz. By abstracting the post-quantum layer, it is hoped that the solution could extend beyond NXM’s own blockchain and that this solution could be used effectively for any communication channel in general.
