Kookmin University (President Jung Seung-ryul) announced that the hardware quantum crypto module 'DUSSQ V1.0', developed by Professor Lee Ok-yeon's research team at the Department of Information Security and Cryptography, has been listed on the KCMVP-verified crypto module (Security Level 2) list of the National Cyber Security Center.
The National Cyber Security Center's Cryptographic Module Verification Program (KCMVP) is a program that verifies the stability and implementation suitability of cryptographic modules introduced by national and public institutions to protect non-confidential business data that is communicated and stored on the national information and communications network in accordance with Article 9 of the “Cyber Security Business Regulations” and Article 69 of the “Electronic Government Enforcement Decree.” Under this system, the installation of a validated cryptographic module is required when performing encryption of important information that is not classified as confidential among the information security products supplied to public institutions and the defense sector.
DUSSQ, developed by Professor Lee Ok-yeon's research team, is a quantum cryptography technology based on quantum entropy that utilizes the quantum nature of radiation. It is one of the hardware cryptographic modules that has achieved the highest level of Security Level 2 among the verified cryptographic modules that have been developed and listed on the KCMVP list to date. DUSSQ includes a quantum random number generator (QRNG) that extracts quantum entropy from alpha radiation emitted from radioactive materials and then converts it into a digital value to generate random numbers.
Professor Ok-Yeon Lee, who leads the DUSSQ development team, has developed a hardware cryptographic module that is ultra-small, low-power, and ultra-lightweight, while also meeting the Security Level 2 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 11770, to perform cryptographic functions such as block ciphers, hash functions, message authentication, digital signatures, key establishment, and key derivation functions, which are essential for public and defense sectors, based on quantum randomness. He is considered to have completed one of the quantum security and quantum cryptography technologies for drones and autonomous vehicles.
Based on this, Kookmin University has completed the development of core source technology that combines its own quantum security-based patent technology and commercialization technology for quantum sensor-based quantum security services such as qSIM (quantum Subscriber Identity Module) and QOTP (Quantum One Time Password).
Professor Lee Ok-yeon's research team, which includes Professor Yoon Seung-hwan, is currently operating a Quantum Virtual Private Network (QVPN) with security functions such as two-way remote identification, mutual authentication, and quantum key guidance in the defense and public drone environment. QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) networks of KT and SKT. The performance and functionality of the quantum security solution for key data have already been demonstrated by linking wireless communications such as 5G, 5G-specific networks, and TVWS with quantum key distribution. The safety of the core quantum cryptography technology has also been verified through the verification and listing of the DUSSQ quantum cryptography module.
Professor Lee Ok-yeon evaluated that through this research and development, Kookmin University has become an institution that possesses all three major quantum security technologies, including quantum random number generators (including QRNG), quantum cryptographic communication equipment (including QKD), and post-quantum cryptography (PQC), and has established itself as a research institution that has built a quantum campus through the commercialization of these technologies.
