ICTK Showcases Quantum Security Technology at MWC 2026
- The Exhibition Marks ICTK’s Global Debut of Its PQC PUF Security Chip Portfolio, Highlighting Its Importance in Future ICT Infrastructures
ICTK announced that it will participate in “Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026,” the world’s largest mobile communications exhibition, held in Barcelona, Spain, for four days from March 2 to 5.
“Mobile World Congress (MWC)” is the world’s largest ICT and mobile industry exhibition hosted by the GSMA (Global System for Mobile Communications Association), where global telecommunications carriers, semiconductor, security, artificial intelligence (AI), and device companies gather together to share next-generation technologies and industry trends. This year, under the theme “Future First: Connectivity, Security and Intelligence,” key future ICT technologies such as quantum security, AI security, and 6G communications are expected to be spotlighted.
At this exhibition, ICTK will participate as a cooperative partner within the LG Uplus booth, showcasing a Quantum HRoT (Hardware Root of Trust)-based security architecture that combines Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and PUF (Physically Unclonable Function) technology. Through this, the company plans to introduce quantum security response strategies and application cases utilizing PQC Migration and PUF-combined security structures.
As PQC transition accelerates as a core security element of global ICT infrastructure, ICTK emphasizes its technical capability to transition algorithms applied to existing encrypted databases and communication systems to PQC. In particular, given that most cryptographic algorithms including PQC inherently contain the threat of cryptographic key exposure, the company plans to spotlight the necessity of PUF-combined structures to fundamentally address this issue.
Notably, this MWC holds significant meaning as it marks the starting point where ICTK introduces its PQC PUF security chip portfolio and MTB for the first time on the global stage. At the exhibition, ICTK plans to introduce the security technology of PQC PUF security chips (USIM and eSIM) to global telecommunications carriers, device manufacturers, and security partners, while also showcasing “MTB” (scheduled for release in 2026), a battery authentication security chip capable of monitoring battery life, thereby officially initiating product and technology communication.
An ICTK representative stated, “PQC is an essential cryptographic technology for the quantum era, but trust cannot be completed with algorithms alone,” adding, “True Quantum-Safe Security is only realized when PUF-based Hardware Root of Trust (HRoT) and PQC algorithms are combined.”
Through this MWC participation, ICTK will showcase its VIA PUF™ and post-quantum cryptography-based chip and platform technologies to the global market, officially marking the entry of quantum security technology into the mobile sector.
