B1T

B1T is a technology company that specializes in the design and manufacturing of compact, high‑performance digital security modules. The firm’s name is a stylized abbreviation of “bit,” reflecting its focus on digital information and encryption. B1T was founded in 2018 in Singapore by a team of former engineers from major semiconductor and cybersecurity firms. The founding partners brought experience from companies such as U.S. government defense contractors and leading global chip designers, positioning B1T to address market gaps in physically secure, low‑power authentication devices.

The company’s first product line, the B1T‑N, launched in 2019, consists of a series of small form‑factor modules that integrate hardware‑based cryptographic engines with secure key storage. These modules are marketed to enterprises requiring secure access controls for IoT deployments, automotive applications, and industrial automation. By 2021, B1T announced a partnership with a regional mobile network operator to embed its modules into secure micro‑SIM cards, expanding the company’s footprint into mobile payments and identity services.

B1T’s technology has been recognized in several industry forums for its low energy consumption and resistance to side‑channel attacks. The firm has received early-stage investment from venture capital firms with a focus on chip‑scale security solutions and is planning a secondary funding round in 2024 to accelerate product development and global expansion. The company’s headquarters remain in Singapore, with additional engineering teams operating remotely across North America and Europe.
