I met the Jmem Tek team at Web Summit 2024 and their message was crisp: if you want real protection against today’s attacks—and tomorrow’s quantum threats—you start at the silicon. The company builds PUF-anchored, post-quantum security that lives inside chips, not bolted on afterward.

🧩 The Problem: Software-Only Security Can’t Shoulder the Load

Healthcare and industrial IoT devices face a perfect storm—long lifecycles, fragmented fleets, and escalating threats (including quantum). Software-only controls struggle to guarantee device identity, protect secrets at rest, or survive invasive attacks. What’s missing is a root of trust that’s bound to the physical chip and compatible with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards.

🔧 The Solution: PUF-Based Roots of Trust + PQC Acceleration

Jmem Tek integrates PUF (Physical Unclonable Function) with post-quantum algorithms to establish unforgeable device identities and quantum-resilient key exchange/signatures—at hardware speed.

• JRoot: a hardware root-of-trust that provides identity, encryption, and integrity—from secure elements in phones to TPMs in servers and IoT gateways.
• JCrypt: a crypto accelerator validated under NIST FIPS 140-3 CAVP, supporting FIPS 203 ML-KEM and FIPS 204 ML-DSA for PQC.
• Design Services & Security IP: ASIC/IC design with PQC/PUF and secure provisioning, aimed at upstream semiconductor and OEM partners.

This “silicon-first” stack addresses counterfeit prevention, secure onboarding, firmware protection, and device-to-cloud trust—pain points we see across connected health and regulated IoT.

🚀 What Makes Jmem Tek Different

• Hardware-anchored identities (PUF): secrets are derived from inherent silicon variation—nothing static to steal or clone.
• Quantum-ready today: public materials emphasize post-quantum (PQC) readiness and NIST-aligned algorithm support, with external validation milestones.
• Pragmatic go-to-market: provides security IP and design services to chipmakers and device brands—especially helpful for SMEs that can’t access Tier-1 vendor stacks.
• Ecosystem building: recent partnership news points to a full-stack, quantum-resilient SoC initiative with Quantum eMotion—useful signal for OEMs evaluating roadmap depth.

🧠 Where It Fits in Your Architecture

H3 — Device Identity & Onboarding

Establish tamper-resistant identity at manufacturing, then perform PQC-secure onboarding to cloud or hospital networks. (JRoot + JCrypt).

H3 — Secure Updates & Telemetry

Bind firmware, attest state, and encrypt telemetry end-to-end with hardware keys—resilient even under invasive attempts.

H3 — Lifecycle at Scale

For fleets with 7–10+ year lifetimes (e.g., medical devices), hardware roots of trust help you rotate keys, revoke access, and adopt PQC without forklift upgrades.
