ICT Fund finds the real deal in Sixscape's authentication tech
Claudia Chong
VENTURE capital firm ICT Fund has been invested in cryptography startup Sixscape since a pre-series A round in 2016, and in December 2018 it gave a second injection to raise its total investment to S$3.25 million.
Underlying that patient commitment is a belief that Sixscape has solved an important authentication and encryption problem with its decentralised certificate management technology.
The startup specialises in secure communications solutions including authentication solutions over the Internet and for apps. Sixscape has a partnership with Belgium internet security firm GlobalSign and has four clients in the Middle East. It started commercialisation towards the end of 2018, and is in discussions with some large tech companies in Singapore for a joint project related to authentication and encryption.
