ICTK Holdings, "G3K Security Chip Obtains NIS KCMVP Certification"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] ICTK Holdings (CEO Lee Jungwon) announced on the 13th that its G3K chip (photo) has received the overall Level 2 National Intelligence Service Cryptographic Module Validation Program (KCMVP) certification.

KCMVP is a system that verifies the safety and implementation compliance of cryptographic modules used to protect critical information of national and public institutions. Information security systems used by domestic national and public institutions must be equipped with cryptographic modules certified by KCMVP. The company stated, "This is the first domestic case verified under the newly mandated ‘Random Number Generator New Testing Methodology’ fully enforced since June 1."

ICTK plans to enhance security by integrating Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) technology into the G3K chip. Additionally, it intends to incorporate quantum-resistant cryptography (PQC) related technologies currently being jointly developed with LG Uplus and others.

CEO Lee Jungwon said, "We will expand our sales activities, which have so far focused on overseas markets, to the domestic market starting with this KCMVP certification acquisition," adding, "We will aggressively apply IoT security chips for various public projects such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) for electricity, water, and gas remote metering, as well as smart cities and electric vehicle charging."
