The CC EAL6 certification is conducted based on the international information protection standards ISO/IEC 15408 and 18045, covering the product lifecycle from planning and design stages to final delivery. It is a certification that proves not only the product but also the entire production environment meets international security standards.
On a scale where EAL1 is the starting point and 7 represents the highest grade, the EAL6 certification obtained by ICTK this time is a high-reliability security grade applicable to military facilities or national core infrastructure. It is known to be the second case of development environment security certification in Korea, following Samsung Electronics.
This certification acquisition officially proves that ICTK’s core technology, the "PQC-PUF security chip" which combines VIA PUF (Physically Unclonable Function) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), is produced in an environment that meets the world’s highest security certification standards. In other words, it means that ICTK has secured internationally verified reliability not only in technological prowess but also in production quality and management systems.
ICTK particularly expects to gain momentum in expanding its high value-added security chip business, as it has established a favorable foundation for the European and North American markets’ private and public procurement environments that officially require CC certification standards. Furthermore, ICTK plans to actively utilize this for various business opportunities, including expansion of OEM and ODM.
An ICTK representative explained, “As securing international trust is even more important in the field of security, this official certification acquisition will serve as a foundation for ICTK’s security technology to be more widely utilized in the global market.”
