INSIDE Secure becomes ARM TrustZone Ready Program partner

Offering a consistent set of design blueprints, market requirements and checklists, the ARM TrustZone Program provides a single design for companies wanting to implement system wide security in their next platform. Specifying a physically separate secure hardware zone implemented in silicon and a distinct trusted operating system, the TrustZone architecture allows creation of a trusted execution environment for running secure applications.

Simon Moore, director of engineering, ARM Secure Services Division and board representative for ARM at GlobalPlatform, comments:“ARM welcomes INSIDE Secure into the TrustZone Ready Program as a valuable partner that will bring essential security solutions for creating TrustZone secured devices running GlobalPlatform-compliant trusted execution environments. With its array of solutions for protecting content, data and communications, financial transactions and its close association with GlobalPlatform, we are confident that INSIDE will make an important contribution to the advancement of the TrustZone Ready Program.”

INSIDE Secure provides customers with a number of TrustZone-enabled embedded hardware and software security solutions, including its DRM Fusion software for DTCP-IP and HDCP, cryptographic modules, secure elements and SDKs. These are compliant with GlobalPlatform specifications and integrate seamlessly within trusted execution environments based on ARM TrustZone frameworks. The result is reduced project costs, complexity, risk and time to market. INSIDE content protection and embedded security products are currently used on millions of devices on a variety of mobile operating systems and hardware platforms.

“As more and more mobile and connected devices are being used to store and access sensitive information and valuable content they are becoming targets for malware, viruses and piracy. With the TrustZone Ready Program, ARM is providing an architecture and ecosystem of technology providers to help chipset vendors integrate standards-based trusted execution environments into their solutions. INSIDE is committed to contributing its expertise in trusted platform modules, application development and trust infrastructure support to help customers protect their mobile and connected devices,” commented Dr. Simon Blake-Wilson, executive vice president for embedded security solutions at INSIDE Secure.
