processor/memory and drain very minimum power from the battery. Our communications protocol and sophisticated key management scheme are unique and difficult to decipher, with a single breach requiring significant time and compute effort. Since each endpoint device has its own set of unpublished keys, a single breach will only affect one device and will not compromise the entire network. Our solution will constantly monitor and detect any breach (or breach in progress) and can be instructed to shut down any device that has been compromised.

Our security solution is designed to have low impact on the existing design: it encrypts data with the latest in non-hacked cryptography (which has been fully reviewed and analyzed by the crypto community) and authenticates devices with minimum message exchanged. The solution has been designed from the ground up to be easy to implement on any existing IoT platforms and processors without a need for any hardware or system redesign. It is agnostic to any wireless access technologies (e.g. BLW, ZigBee, WiFi, LoRa, cellular IoT, etc.) and/or existing IP / cloud infrastructure. A demo of StarDust™ is available running on AWS.
