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主要挑战之一，它同样面临着商业、政府和公民。据估计，英国每年因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，受影响人数超过180万人。知识产权盗窃和间谍活动是迄今为止最大的威胁，分别造成了92亿英镑和75亿英镑的损失。移动设备和应用程序已经成为个人和工作生活的关键。2011年，全球手机出货量达到16亿部，平板电脑出货量达到6690万部（Strategy Analytics 2012）。如今使用的移动设备数量庞大，为用户提供了一系列惊人的可能性，让他们可以在移动设备上与工作和个人数据进行交互和管理。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故障和移动恶意软件达到新的成熟水平，新的移动安全解决方案存在重大机会。Senta科技有限公司的目标是开发下一代安全解决方案“守护者”的预生产原型。该平台将专注于Senta的两项核心技术：演进数字签名（通过选择随机特征形成演进设备指纹来描述设备）和Senta安全数据服务（通过在客户端和服务器上随机生成唯一密钥和随机间隔更改的密码，采用多态加密技术）。这两种技术的目的是将不可预测性注入到设备指纹和端点加密机制中。这完全防止了黑客的设备冒充和中间人攻击。由于它们的重大漏洞，最初的重点将放在云安全和Android市场上，并在项目结束后的6个月内准备好一个完全验证的原型。

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.
