IT security and authentication platform company Laonsecure (CEO Lee Soon-hyung and Lee Jeong-ah) announced on the 11th that it signed a business agreement (MOU) with healthcare platform company Pie Digital Healthcare (CEO Yoo Seung-chan) for ‘application of quantum-resistant cryptography (PQC) to medical healthcare platforms.’
This agreement is an extension of the Ministry of Science and ICT's '2025 Quantum-Resistant Cryptography Pilot Conversion Support Project' that the two companies are jointly conducting, and was promoted as a follow-up cooperation to strengthen the security of the medical data relay platform in the future.
Pie Digital Healthcare is a joint venture between Yonsei Medical Center and Kakao, and is developing and operating a healthcare platform called ‘Connect-DTx’ that is linked to digital therapeutic devices (DTx). The platform has been introduced and is being used by major medical institutions such as Severance Hospital in Shinchon and Severance Hospital in Gangnam.
According to the agreement, Laonsecure will link its quantum-resistant cryptography technology-based solutions ‘Key#Biz’ and ‘Key#Wireless’ to Connect-DTx, and the two companies plan to jointly build a quantum-resistant cryptography-based medical data protection system based on this.
Last year, Raonsecure commercialized encryption technology that applied the Korean PQC algorithm (KpqC) and the US NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) standards, and based on this, participated in a government pilot project in the medical field, proving its technological prowess and marketability.
Lee Jeong-ah, CEO of Laonsecure, said, “Since medical data is a field that requires a high level of security, it is important to establish a security infrastructure to prepare for the era of quantum computing.” She added, “Through this collaboration, we will expand the applicability of PQC technology to the medical field and continue to promote the industrial expansion of security technology.”
