Protection of Software Updates in Satellites and Safety-Critical Systems

Breakthroughs in quantum computing or cryptanalysis can happen at any time enabling concealed attacks on today's cryptography. Quantum or cryptanalysis attacks would break the cryptographic primitives used to protect the integrity of software updates. Attacks on software updates can compromise safety-critical systems used in satellites, aircrafts and vehicles. With quantum and cryptanalysis attacks, malware or trojans are injected into the software misusing the download channel, and used to attack or control the systems from the inside. Coordinated cyber-attacks on thousands of safety-critical systems can be executed in such a way.

Unlike traditional attacks, which are detectable and exploit design flaws in the software and hardware of a specific system, quantum and cryptanalysis attacks operate on mathematical level. They are generic, undetectable and can compromise any safety-critical system that uses a specific cryptographic primitive.

QuBalt delivers the solution to secure your software updates in safety-critical systems against quantum and cryptanalysis attacks.
