Crypto Quantique is a U.K. start-up founded in 2016 focused on quantum physics, software engineering, and analog chip design.
The start-up specializes in designing a security architecture based on quantum tunnelling and cryptographic techniques for IoT security called Q:Architecture.

They have two commercially available products that are complementary, Quantum-Driven Identity (QDID) and QuarkLink.
Products offered by Crypto Quantique
- QuarkLink is a software based IoT security platform for device owners to manage their IoT ecosystem security. It can work with QDID (1), but also with other hardware RoT like ST one. QuarkLink essentially connects IoT devices to server-hosted apps, on-premises or in the cloud. A firmware image is injected into IoT devices at manufacturing, which is encrypted and signed by QuarkLink. This allows for secure provisioning, authentication, and management such as monitoring, updates, etc.
QuarkLink is platform-agnostic and crypto-agile: it can work with various silicon and cloud solutions, this is a plug-in function allows any algorithm to be leveraged. - Q:Architecture is targeted at a number of industries, including industrial, automotive, telco, smart cities, healthcare, system integrators, smart homes, and consumers.
(1) Quantum-Driven Identity (QDID) is a silicon IP solution for a hardware Root-of-Trust (RoT) that can generate unique identities and keys.
Crypto Quantique in STMicroelectronics Ecosystem
STMicroelectronics is a major player in IoT and specifically in the low-cost, low-power device targeted by Cryptoquantique’ secure connectivity platform, QuarkLink. For Crypto Quantique, partnerships are important building blocks for both technical and commercial collaboration and success in the industry.
On ST side there is a growing demand for Secure IoT solutions and for seamless Cloud connection and remote credential and lifecycle management. Partnering with Crypto Quantique allows ST customers access to pre-qualified STM32 + Quarklink.
