Learn how trust extends from the chip to IoT, AI, and beyond.
For over 25 years, the Silicon Trust Partner Program and VAULT magazine have chronicled the remarkable journey of hardware-based security—from the early days of smart cards and secure tokens to biometric solutions and post-quantum cryptography. That work has shaped much of today’s trusted identity landscape.
As we reflect on this legacy, one thing is clear: the conversation on security no longer stops at the card or the chip. In today’s connected world, IoT ecosystems, industrial automation, edge AI, and software protection are rapidly expanding the playing field. Security, once primarily focused on identity and hardware, now stretches across supply chains, factories, connected vehicles, and the software layers that hold it all together
A Bridge to Fresh Perspectives
With this wider scope in mind, we’d like to highlight a platform that complements our foundations while extending into new territories: The Quantum Space.
The Quantum Space explores how emerging technologies—from quantum computing and post-quantum cryptography to AI at the edge of IoT—are reshaping the way we think about trust, resilience, and cybersecurity.
Some themes you’ll find include:
- IoT & Industrial Security: How connected devices and automated systems can be secured against evolving threats.
- Edge AI in IoT: The rise of on-device intelligence and the security implications of processing data closer to where it’s generated.
- Software Protection & Licensing: Why securing software in industrial and enterprise environments is as critical as securing hardware.
- Post-Quantum Cryptography: Strategies for ensuring long-term resilience in systems that underpin everything from industrial automation to digital ID.
- Cybersecurity & AI: Exploring the double-edged sword of AI as both a tool for defense and a new attack vector.
Why It Matters to You
While Silicon Trust has always offered a strong foundation in secure ID and hardware-based trust, The Quantum Space opens a window into adjacent domains—where IoT, automation, and software security converge with the realities of a quantum-enabled future.
For readers interested in how secure identity principles extend into factories, connected devices, cloud-to-edge infrastructures, and AI-powered systems, The Quantum Space offers insights that build on our shared foundation—without replacing it.
