UBIRCH GmbH

UBIRCH GmbH builds security software for connected devices. Its work targets a basic weakness in connected devices, which is that they can be hacked and the data they send can be falsified.

The company's answer is a protocol that runs in software on the devices and in the cloud. Each data packet is sealed when it is sent, so any later change to it can be detected.

What UBIRCH GmbH offers

• Data integrity protocol — a method for guaranteeing that data exchanged between IoT devices has not been modified.
• Device-side software — the protocol is implemented on the connected devices themselves.
• Cloud-side software — the matching part runs in the cloud to check the sealed data.

Who it works with

The sources point to makers and operators of connected devices that need to trust the data those devices send.

Key facts

• Focus: trust and tamper protection for IoT data
• Approach: sealed data packets that reveal later changes
