Security is no longer an option; it is a requirement. We are your trusted provider of embedded security solutions. Our comprehensive security solutions give you many options to address your specific threat models.
The following features are essential for securing systems:
Authentication
The ability to prove someone’s or something’s identity is real
Integrity
Ensuring that content has not been manipulated
Confidentiality
Assurance that no unintended entities can read data at rest and/or messages during transmission
Properties of a Secure System
Secure Boot
Uses hardware root of trust to ensure application’s software integrity at start up
Authentication
Provides a unique and verifiable identity for an entity
Secure Communication
Supports the transmission of authenticated and encrypted network data
Secure Programming/ Debugging
Controls access to a system’s physical interfaces
Asset Protection
Prevents unauthorized access to critical data including keys, IP, code, data and certificates
Device Lifecycle Management
Manages secure keys, updates, provisioning, attestation, code development and monitors and protects assets in a network from threats
Assurance
Validates and verifies the security claims of a product for certification, penetration testing, crypto algorithm validation and code compliance
