Quantum computing has been getting a lot of attention recently, but more for what it promises and its potential than for what it is already known to enable. In fact, there is little consensus on what types of transformative solutions will come from quantum. While researchers and scientists have been working with quantum for years and excitement around it is growing, we don't know what impact the technology will have yet. However, this hasn’t stopped rumors and concerns from spreading. One concern we have heard often is how quantum will break current encryption techniques for security.

The numbers are staggering. Depending on the source, the forecast number of connected IoT devices in 2021 varies from 20 to 40 billion, all producing immense volumes of data.

Intrinsic ID announced IKV has launched its software-based security solution equaling hardware level for IoT security.

Intrinsic ID will be at Embedded World, Feb. 25-27, in Nuremberg, Germany.

Today?s IoT devices often use one or more MCUs or FPGAs to control the system and process data.
