Unparalleled security for SkyCell’s smart containers through banking grade Securosys Hardware

SkyCell monitors and manages its smart containers throughout their entire lifecycle on geolocation, temperature, humidity, shock, damage, service level and more. Since the danger of manipulation of smart devices is mounting, SkyCell was searching actively for a new infrastructure solution unprecedented in the industry. The authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of the collected data inside the smart containers have to be guaranteed at all times.

This is achieved by equipping each container with a smart card chip that holds its own digital identity. Rather than relying on the weak key generators found in smart card chips, SkyCell chose to use Securosys Primus Hardware Security Modules (HSM). The Securosys HSM use their internal true random number generators to generate digital identities, also called keys, for all SkyCell containers. The process is called Key Injection and is the basis for the secure management of SkyCells high-tech containers. It gives each container a tamper-proof identity that cannot be hacked.
