Samsung Heavy Industries Co. has developed a blockchain-based cyber security solution that prevents digital information sent from autonomous ships to land stations from being manipulated by third parties.
It’s a first in the shipbuilding industry.
Through the blockchain platform VechainThor, the data created by the shipbuilder’s remote autonomous navigation system and the electronic navigation log are sent to external sources.
Following the technology's successful validation, DNV GL, a Norwegian ship quality certification firm, granted Samsung Heavy a Statement of Fact.
The shipyard has been working to create cyber security products for use on ships, and in 2018 they got the first certification for smart ship cyber security technology in the entire world.
