Suzhou Rongca Science and Technology

Suzhou Rongca Science and Technology Co., Ltd., operating as Rockycore, was established on February 17, 2013, by founder Xu Mingxiang. The company positions itself as a provider of digital identity, trusted data, and related services, focusing on chip-level security technology integration. Xu Mingxiang's professional background includes key product and R&D roles at publicly listed security firms like Hengbao, Feitian, and Nationz, which provided a direct experiential foundation for Rockycore's focus on digital security. The core team is similarly composed of veterans from major players in the security industry.

Rockycore's business centers on delivering comprehensive security solutions, from underlying hardware to system-level and front-end applications. The company's primary offering is its "TASE" Internet of Things (IoT) security platform. This platform leverages the inSE/eSE of IoT terminals and the TEE secure environment of mobile devices, combined with a chip-level PAAS security management platform. It provides services such as data encryption, digital certificate management, identity verification, and authorization for clients that include mobile phone manufacturers, IoT device makers, and application service providers. The technology finds application in sectors like mobile finance, smart cities, and smart homes, addressing security needs in government, transportation, logistics, and construction.

A significant milestone for the company is its role as the designated service provider for the Ministry of Public Security's eID (citizen network electronic identity) issuance, where it develops and manages mobile digital identities. Rockycore has also established itself as the exclusive technology partner for the InSE of Huawei's Hisilicon Kirin series chips and has obtained security development authorization from Qualcomm. Key partnerships include major mobile phone manufacturers like Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, and VIVO for their wallet applications. The product portfolio includes solutions for digital car keys, the Citizen Network Electronic Identity (eID), mobile security shields, and digital currency wallets.

The company's growth has been supported by strategic financing. In July 2014, it secured a Series A angel investment from Yida Capital. A more substantial Series A round of tens of millions of RMB was completed in July 2020, led by Dachen Caizhi, with participation from Zhenxuan Capital and others, aimed at strengthening its position in the digital identity and data security market.
