Company

A Leading Company in Quantum Security!

ICTK stands for Integrated Circuit Trust Key,
delivering security and trust for ICT and enhancing the security of all IoT devices.

SAFE WITH US

Unclonable Trust, safe with ICTK

ICTK= Integrated Circuit Trust Key

With ICTK, you are always safe.

In a world without security, there can be no life we dream of, no corporate innovation,
and no meaningful connectivity for society.

"ICTK was the first in the world to commercialize PUF, which generates a unique ID (key value) for each semiconductor in the precision chip manufacturing process.
The key values generated by VIA PUF technology cannot be modified or cloned."

CEO, ICTK

We Protect Your Values

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has officially proposed PUF as an alternative to conventional security modules vulnerable to reverse-engineering attacks, publishing the standard specification (ISO/IEC 20897-1/2).

ICTK is the only company in the world with Q-PUF chip technology that combines Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) with PUF. Our technology is applied to various authentication solutions, from device-to-device interactions to communications.

We are currently building various cooperation models related to quantum security with telecom carriers, and industrial robots from leading domestic robotics companies can only operate when a PUF USB (equipped with ICTK's authentication and firmware protection module) is inserted.

Based on ICTK's commitment to PUF, we promise to safeguard your trust for IoT security.
