Tributech is a European DeepTech-Startup providing a data audit & sharing technology ensuring trustworthy data across companies. It enables you to secure and share IoT data cross-company or cross-platform in a selective, auditable way while maintaining data sovereignty. The included blockchain technology makes sure that the data is trustworthy and not manipulated or corrupted.

Due to the increasing number of interconnected value chains between companies, trends such as Industry 4.0 and the Internet of things, a growing number of so-called data-driven business models and services are emerging and require data from third-party systems. Therefore, those companies rely heavily on data-sharing.
However, when data is collected and shared across system and company borders, businesses put themselves at risk if they blindly trust the data provided without verifying data’s authenticity and integrity. System failures and/or intentional data manipulation along the data path can be fatal for every enterprise. As more and more critical business decisions are made based on data crossing different layers and system borders, enterprises need to manage these arising risks.

To provide the missing proofs, Tributech developed the Sensor Security Module. Their so-called SSM is a hardware security module that relies on the OPTIGA™ Trust M module from Infineon on creating cryptographic fingerprints straight at the source, stored, and distributed within the blockchain. Tributech’s expertise in cross-system security and data verification and Infineon’s complementary technologies have paved the way for a secure and trusted IoT.

block42 is a venture-driven tech company. The company builds products and services to support open decentralized networks. To accomplish this, block42 invests into the most promising blockchain networks and helps them grow and secure their networks. block42 provides a validator network and governs the protocols on an ongoing basis. To accelerate mass adoption of these networks the company onboards businesses by solving cross-organizational challenges.

At Infineon's virtual show 2020 block42 presented the functionality and use cases of an innovative NFC and blockchain combination solution in cooperation with Infineon's SECORA™ Blockchain to make the origin and history of a product visible: Visitors could learn how the joint solution protects and manages private keys, enabling users to securely access block chains. It is available in different form factors for easy integration into a wide range of goods. NFC-enabled phones access the block chain. Using sneakers as an example, this demo shows how this solution protects brand authenticity for luxury goods while ensuring traceability along the entire supply chain.
