NXM’s use of blockchain as a microservice for cell providers enables carriers to become the root of trust for cellular IoT ecosystems. The project aims to protect the PKI used by blockchain behind a layer of communication using one-time symmetric key system and protocol that is called httpz. By abstracting the post-quantum layer, it is hoped that the solution could extend beyond NXM’s own blockchain and that this solution could be used effectively for any communication channel in general., description french : Microservice de chaîne de blocs post-quantique, expected results english : The purpose of IRAP Contributions to Firms is to support research, development, adoption and/or adaptation of innovative or technology-driven new or improved products, services or processes in Canada up to their commercialization, expected results french : Le PARI, par le biais des Contributions aux entreprises, vise à appuyer la recherche, le développement, l’adaptation et/ou l’adoption au Canada de produits, de services ou de processus novateurs ou axés sur des technologies nouvelles ou améliorées, et ce jusqu’à leur commercialisation, additional information english : nan, additional information french : nan, owner organization : nrc-cnrc, owner organization title : National Research Council Canada | Conseil national de recherches Canada
