Hardware based security solution available
It has been announced that the OPTIGA Trust X is a turnkey security solution which provides robust security to the diverse applications in the Internet of Things, ranging from industrial automation systems and smart homes to consumer devices.
The high end security controller comes with full system integration support for easy and cost effective deployment of advanced security measures.
The OPTIGA Trust X SLS32AIA is based on an advanced security controller with built in tamper proof NVM for secure storage and symmetric/asymmetric crypto engine to support ECC 256, AES-128 and SHA-256. The security controller comes with up to 10kB user memory that can be used to store X.509 certificates.
The security controller supports one way authentication using ECDSA, secured communication via TLS/DTLS, and is compliant with the USB Type-C authentication standard.
Full system integration and preprogrammed key/certificate material reduce efforts for design, integration and deployment to a minimum. An extended temperature range of -40 to +105°C and a standardised I2C interface in combination with a small PG-USON-10-2 footprint allow a simple integration in existing ecosystems.
The OPTIGA Trust X is suited for a broad range of use cases, including mutual authentication, secured communication, datastore protection, lifecycle management, platform integrity protection and secured updates.
