🔐 iMQ and SecuX Launch PUF Hardware Digital Signature: Defining Trustworthy DID Standards for the AI Agent Era
iMQ today announced that its core PUF SE security chip technology has been successfully integrated into the newly released PUF Signer Dongle (SecuHSM) by its partner SecuX. In an era where AI agents and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) are reshaping the digital ecosystem, iMQ, with PUF at its core, provides global digital content publishers with an "immutable and physically isolated" trust foundation, officially ushering in a new era of hardware-level Decentralized Identifier identity (DID).
At the heart of this technological collaboration, iMQ's SQ7191 and CQ9008 series chips (utilizing 力旺電子ememory/ PUFsecurity's NeoPUF IP) construct native hardware trust from chip fingerprints to undeniable signatures. This technology utilizes minute, randomly generated differences in the semiconductor manufacturing process to give each chip a unique "chip fingerprint," ensuring that the private key is generated within a secure hardware area and physically isolated, making it impossible to extract or crack.
Furthermore, NeoPUF employs innovative quantum tunneling pressure technology, amplifying the originally minute physical differences between adjacent transistors by applying precisely controlled voltage pressure to the circuit, thus giving random feature signals higher readability and stability. This mechanism not only significantly improves the reliability of PUF response but also effectively reduces the impact of environmental variations on the identification results, ensuring long-term stability of chip fingerprints and preventing misjudgments, fundamentally strengthening the reproducibility and security of hardware trust.
Meanwhile, the private key is generated in a hardware-secure area and physically isolated, making it impossible to extract or crack. Combined with built-in firmware compliant with the PKCS #11 standard, it can seamlessly connect to CA registration mechanisms of impartial third parties such as governments, enterprises, and C2PA. Whether it's traditional KYC real-name authentication or decentralized identity (DID), both can achieve highly legally valid digital signatures through the iMQ chip.
