Iothic and Carahsoft today announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Iothic's Public Sector distributor, making the company's decentralized Open Interoperable Security Protocol, CORE (d)OISP platform, available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft's reseller partners and multiple government contract vehicles. Iothic's CORE platform introduces a new approach to authentication and digital identity management, using ephemeral, machine-generated synchronization keys and the trust properties of the network itself rather than traditional long-lived credentials.
CORE eliminates dependence on stored credentials, reducing risk of credential-based attacks.
Supports Zero Trust mandates while reducing operational burden of certificate and key lifecycle management.
Well suited for smart cities, public safety systems, defense logistics, and critical infrastructure monitoring.
Available through SEWP V, ITES-SW2, NASPO ValuePoint, TIPS, and OMNIA Partners contracts.
Iothic describes CORE as "credentialless, decentralized authentication" with quantum-resistant security.
Carahsoft is The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider.
In an age of AI-speed warfare, traditional risk management is no longer sufficient. Rather than relying on traditional long-lived credentials such as certificates, keys or shared secrets, CORE uses ephemeral, machine-generated synchronization keys and the trust properties of the network itself. The decentralized model strengthens authentication, improves data integrity and simplifies secure access to digital objects, providing a modern foundation for organizations facing increasingly complex cybersecurity challenges. For the U.S. Public Sector, CORE delivers practical advantages in security, resilience and operational efficiency by eliminating dependence on stored credentials, significantly reducing the risk of credential-based attacks while supporting agencies' Zero Trust mandates.
CORE reduces the operational burden of certificate and key lifecycle management, helping agencies simplify compliance and governance across distributed systems. This architecture is well suited for Public Sector environments that rely on large networks of devices and edge infrastructure, enabling secure connectivity for applications such as smart cities, public safety systems, defense logistics and critical infrastructure monitoring. Iothic's CORE (dOISP) platform is available through Carahsoft's SEWP V, ITES-SW2, NASPO ValuePoint, TIPS and OMNIA Partners contracts.
As William Sullivan, CEO of Iothic, stated: "In an age of AI-speed warfare, we can no longer afford to 'manage' risk; We must mathematically eliminate it—Iothic Core is the first step toward a truly unhackable nation. Partnering with Carahsoft is a significant milestone in expanding the reach of our security platform to the Public Sector, and we are pleased to be part of a collaboration that provides streamlined access to our solution that will further protect Government agencies' mission-critical assets."
Michael Shrader, Vice President of Intelligence and Innovative Solutions at Carahsoft, added: "We are pleased to partner with Iothic to bring its innovative decentralized authentication platform to the Public Sector. As Government agencies continue to modernize their cybersecurity strategies and advance Zero Trust initiatives, they need solutions that reduce complexity while strengthening protection across increasingly distributed environments. By making Iothic's CORE (dOISP) platform available through Carahsoft's reseller partners and contract vehicles, we are helping agencies more easily adopt a modern approach to authentication that reduces credential-based risk and supports the secure operation of critical systems and infrastructure."
