What  is  ICMetricsTM?  

•  Novel  key-­‐less  security  invented  by  Metrarc  •  Uses  device  characterisKcs  and  user  behaviour  to  create  ICMetricTM  

•  Features  from  hardware,  content,  code  execuKon,    sensors,  peripherals,  …  

•  Ensures  secure/safe    transmission  without    storing  keys  

•  Helps  to  detect  cases  of    failure,  tampering  or  malicious  exploitaKon  

•  Straigh6orward  hardening  of  exis=ng  systems  (e.g.  RSA,  AES,  PGP)  

Secure  Online  Authen=ca=on  and  Iden=ty    

Unique  selling  points:-­‐  •  No  storage  of  any  ICMetric  data  •  No  storage  of  encryp4on  keys,  templates  or  digital  signatures  

Advantages  of  ICMetrics  

•  Ensuring  trust  in  device  idenKty  in  insecure  environments  

•  PrevenKon  of  unauthorised  access  to  distributed  devices  that  are  increasingly    connected  wirelessly  

•  PrevenKon  of  the  fraudulent  cloning  or  imitaKon  of  a    device  in  order  to  compromise  its  idenKty  and  subsequent  communicaKon    

•  Implicit  detecKon  of  tampering  of  the  soXware  or  hardware  associated  with  the  device  

Applica=on  Areas  •  Universal  technology  that  can  be  deployed  

standalone  or  alongside  exisKng  security  technologies  

•  Tablet  and  smartphone  security  •  Mobile  Commerce  and    

military  communicaKon  •  IoT    and  Cloud  Security  •  SoXware  and  Hardware  integraKon  possible  •  App  integraKon  for  securing  personal  data  and  

passwords  •  DefenderTM  developed  for
