ICTK (CEO Jeong-won Lee), a next-generation quantum security fabless company, announced on the 23rd that it has been officially recognized for its technological innovation by winning the Industry Leading Company Award at the EBISION 2025 Awards hosted by the International Federation of Information Technology Institutes (IFIP).
This award is part of the "EBISION 2025" program hosted by IFIP WG 8.4. Established in 2025, the award recognizes companies driving industrial change in next-generation ICT fields such as AI, quantum computing, and 6G. ICTK was selected as the inaugural recipient.
The judging panel stated that ICTK's award was given due to its "highly evaluated innovation of VIA PUF and quantum security chip technologies, which have dramatically improved the security reliability of electronic business and digital service environments, and its contribution to the next-generation ICT industry."
ICTK was the first in the world to mass-produce VIA PUF technology, which generates unique IDs by exploiting semiconductor process variations. In 2025, it integrated quantum-resistant cryptography (PQC) technology into a security chip. This initiative presents a new paradigm for hardware security and solidifies its leadership position in the global quantum security industry.
ICTK also published a paper on qTrustNet, a next-generation security protocol combining PQC and PUF technologies, in the SCIE-level international journal "IEEE Access." The company also received Common Criteria (CC) EAL6 development environment security certification from a Dutch certification authority. Furthermore, ICTK's technological prowess has been recognized on the global stage, including selection as a WIPO Global Awards Top 30 Finalist and winning the Gold Award at "iENA 2024."
An ICTK official said, “We are honored to have our technological innovation and industrial contributions recognized by IFIP,” and added, “We will use this award as an opportunity to expand our cooperation with global big tech companies and quantum security organizations to lead the global standard for quantum security.”
