QuarkLink IoT secure connectivity platform

Overview

Our patented IoT security platform that works with any root-of-trust for easy-to-use, scalable end-to-end security.
QuarkLink is our software-based IoT security platform that securely connects IoT devices to server-hosted apps on-premises or in the cloud. QuarkLink uses advanced cryptography techniques to integrate with any root-of-trust for end-to-end security across every IoT device.
QuarkLink effectively secures your IoT system, and combined with QDID, it offers the highest standard of security available.

Key Features

  • Provisioning - Inject firmware securely, enable secure boot processes, and generate device identities and cryptographic keys in a complete system.
  • Onboarding - Generate and distribute certificates and create secure TLS connections between devices and IoT hubs. Onboard thousands of devices in minutes.
  • Managing - From handling secure updates to controlling the whole key and certificate lifecycle, manage IoT device security effortlessly.

Benefits

  • Easy for the end-user - You don’t need to be a cryptography expert to use QuarkLink. Control and monitor your IoT security from an intuitive user interface of simple menus and action buttons.
  • Private key lifecycle - Generate, renew and revoke certificates entirely within QuarkLink. Keys also never leave the device and you don’t need HSMs or third parties for injection or other handling. QuarkLink is a comprehensive IoT security system.
  • Versatile integration - QuarkLink integrates with any root-of-trust as a security management layer. Once set up, onboarding and key management is fast and easy for system owners to use.
  • Zero-touch, zero fuss - Automated processes mean no manual intervention or complex security workarounds. Managing devices through an intuitive interface makes it easy for users to handle security themselves.
