Development of Prototype Content Protection System Comprising Device Identification and Quantum Key Distribution provides new paradigm in security

信息安全被认为是与开放数字时代相关的关键挑战之一，它面临着商业、政府和公民的共同挑战。据估计，英国每年网络犯罪造成的经济损失超过270亿英镑，英国企业损失210亿英镑，影响超过180万人。IP盗窃和间谍活动是迄今为止最大的威胁，分别为92亿英镑和75亿英镑。移动的设备和应用程序对个人和工作生活都变得至关重要。2011年，全球移动的手机出货量达到16亿部，平板电脑出货量达到6690万部（Strategy Analytics 2012）。当今使用的移动的设备的庞大数量已经为用户在移动的时与他们的工作和个人数据交互并管理他们的工作和个人数据提供了惊人的可能性。然而，这些机会也为黑客打开了大门。随着当前安全系统中公认的失败以及移动的恶意软件达到新的成熟水平，新的移动的安全解决方案存在着重大的机会。森塔科技有限公司的目标是开发一个名为Guardian的下一代安全解决方案的预生产原型。该平台将集中在森塔的两个核心技术概念上，一个是不断发展的数字签名，它通过选择随机特征来形成不断发展的设备指纹，另一个是森塔安全数据服务，它采用多态加密技术，通过在客户端和服务器上随机生成唯一的密钥以及以随机间隔变化的密码。这两项技术的目的是为设备指纹识别和端点加密机制注入不可预测性。这完全防止了黑客的设备冒充和中间人攻击。由于存在重大漏洞，最初的重点将放在云安全和Android市场，并在项目结束后的6个月内准备好一个经过充分验证的原型。

The security of information is recognised as one the key challenges associated with the opendigital age, which faces commerce, governments and citizens alike. It is estimated that every year in the UK cybercrime costs the economy more than £27bn, with UK business losing £21bn & affecting over 1.8million people. IP theft and espionage are by far the greatest threats at £9.2 billion and £7.5 billion respectively.Mobile devices and apps have become critical to both personal and work life. In 2011, global mobile handset shipments reached 1.6 billion and tablet shipments reached 66.9 million (Strategy Analytics 2012). The sheer volume of mobile devices in use today has given rise to a staggering range of possibilities for users to interact with and manage their work and personal data while mobile. However, those same opportunities also open the door to hackers.With a recognised failure in current security systems & with mobile malware reaching a new level of maturity, significant opportunity exists for new mobile security solutions.Senta Technologies Ltd aim to develop a pre-production prototype of a next generationsecurity solutions called Guardian. The platform will focus around Senta’s two core techconcepts of Evolving Digitial Signature which profiles a device by selecting randomcharacteristics to form an evolving device fingerprint and Senta Secure Data Services which employs polymorphic encryption techniques by randomly generating unique keys on both client and server and ciphers that change at random intervals. The aim of these two technologies is to inject unpredictability into the mechanics of device fingerprinting and endpoint encryption. This fully prevents hackers from device impersonation and man-in-themiddle attacks. Due to their significant vulnerability, initial focus will be within the Cloud Security and Android markets with a fully validated prototype ready for market launch within 6 months of project end.
