On the 19th June, KT officially
announced its blockchain service to secure Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices via satellite. KT (formerly Korea Telecom) is the countries largest telecoms company. This initiative, using KT’s GiGA Stealth technology, was demonstrated at last week’s ConnecTechAsia 2019 trade show amongst various other projects.
Other announcements included proposals such as quantum communication for the military and unmanned 5G connected search and rescue drones.
Developed by KT SAT, the firm’s satellite arm, the service utilizes GiGA Stealth to secure the CCTV on ships which use IoT terminals. To prevent hackers from accessing or controlling the cameras, IP addresses of the terminals will only be shown to permitted users. These users are verified by a smart contract on the GiGA Stealth blockchain.
