Microsoft selects Infineon's security controller for tablet
Microsoft has selected the OPTIGA Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security controller, developed by Infineon Technologies, for use within its Surface Pro 3 tablet. With the emergence of IoT, security solutions are of particular importance. The Trusted Computing Group, an international industry standards group, defined the TPM specifications to enable a Root of Trust for security applications. The OPTIGA TPM security controller supports a wide range of security needs ranging from strong authentication to platform integrity checks.
The Surface Pro 3 is the first shipping computing device to utilise the higher security and improved system management features of the latest TPM 2.0 standard. Leading European airlines recently have chosen the device for their pilots to use as a connected flight deck.
“We are committed to providing the industry with a complete offering of security solutions to protect connected devices and infrastructure,” said Juergen Spaenkuch, Vice President and General Manager of Platform Security, Infineon Technologies. “Infineon’s support for Trusted Computing spans more than a decade, beginning before the first TPMs were shipped in the early 2000s. Today, an ever increasing number of system manufacturers recognise the value of the hardware Root of Trust as provided by our TPMs.”
