AI semiconductor specialist Mobilint is taking on the next-generation mobile platform security revolution by integrating AI semiconductor control technology with QRNG (quantum random number generator)/QKD (quantum key distribution) quantum cryptography.

Mobilint signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MOU) with quantum technology leader SDT on the 14th to integrate artificial intelligence (AI)-based manned and unmanned mobile platforms with quantum cryptography technology.

Through this agreement, the two companies plan to actively pursue joint research and commercialization of next-generation security and intelligent mobility platform technologies required in the public and private sectors.

SDT is a Quantum Design & Manufacturing (QDM) company leading the commercialization of various quantum technologies, including quantum computing, cloud computing, communications, and sensing. It promotes the introduction of quantum technologies into industrial settings based on its capabilities in designing and manufacturing ultra-precision devices, components, and equipment.

This agreement will combine Mobilint's high-performance, low-power NPU-based AI control technology with SDT's QRNG (quantum random number generator)/QKD (quantum key distribution) quantum cryptography technology.

The two companies will jointly research and develop AI-based manned and unmanned mobile platforms and control technologies and quantum cryptography technologies, and will also collaborate on human resources andWe plan to gradually pursue various cooperative projects, including sharing of resources such as facilities, equipment, and technology, publicizing and disseminating joint research results both domestically and internationally, and establishing a certification system to ensure empirical research and reliability.

In particular, by cooperating on technology verification and business model development applicable across the private sector as well as the public sector, where security and reliability are critical, we plan to fully establish a next-generation mobile platform ecosystem that combines AI and quantum technologies.

Mobilint CEO Shin Dong-joo said, “The addition of quantum cryptography, a future technology, to edge AI technology will be an opportunity to take the security of the on-device environment to the next level,” and “Through quantum cryptography technology, we will implement advanced security solutions that go beyond physical security and continue to maintain our technological edge in the industry.”

SDT CEO Jiwon Yoon also emphasized, “The most important thing in unmanned mobile platforms such as autonomous robots and drones is the ‘security’ of communication and data,” and “By adding SDT’s quantum cryptography technology to Mobilint’s outstanding AI semiconductor technology, we will create the safest AI mobility standard without the worry of hacking.”

This agreement is expected to present a new security paradigm to domestic and international industries by converging two key future technologies: AI and quantum cryptography. The collaboration between the two companies is expected to drive practical technological innovation and market expansion in diverse fields, including public institutions, national defense, smart cities, and autonomous driving.
