As a highly regulated and trusted financial market infrastructure provider, SIX must operate at the highest level of security and stability. SDX will serve the entire value chain in capital markets, starting with primary markets for the initial offering of digital assets, listing, trading, settlement and custody services and operate as a fully regulated financial market infrastructure (FMI).
For this, Securosys has enhanced its tamper-resistant hardware security module firmware to ensure privacy in DLT-based trading . The solution encrypts confidential identity keys that guarantee the privacy of the key holders who make transactions on R3’s Corda business network – an important prerequisite for the SDX Blockchain platform.
Tomas Kindler, Head SDX, said: "We are building the digital exchange of the future, so the ability to adapt and evolve the ecosystem over time is critical. Securosys‘ cyber expertise and proven track record make this partnership ideal for our purpose".
Robert Rogenmoser, CEO and founder of Securosys, said: "The Securosys Primus Hardware Security Module (HSM) provides the speed, security, and features to allow confidentiality of legal identities and operates in accordance with SIX’ stringent data protection model. This process ensures the privacy of the key owner and the speed of transactions while maintaining their security."
Securosys SA, based in Zurich, Switzerland, is a market leader in cyber security, encryption, and in securing digital identities. Founded in 2014, Securosys secures the Swiss financial markets on behalf of the Swiss National Bank and protects transactions worth over 100 billion Euros every day. The company supplies more than half of the Tier 1 banks worldwide with hardware security modules developed and built in Switzerland.
Securosys offers a wide range of security network appliances focused on commercial applications. These include communication encryption and key generation and management. All products are developed and manufactured in Switzerland, free from contaminating influences.
