The world’s first UHF RAIN RFID tag IC to combine long-range read performance with cryptographic authentication has been released by NXP Semiconductors. With the UCODE DNA developers no longer have to choose between contactless performance and the need for security in their applications as the tag IC enables them to have access to both.

A processor core targeted at IoT sensing nodes and always-on applications has been released by EnSilica. The eSi-3260, which extends the company’s eSi-RISCfamily, combines advanced DSP functionality with a small footprint and a low power consumption.

STMicroelectronicshas introduced MCU chips designed to bringgraphics enabling intuitive smartphone-like UIs in the world of wearables, smart appliances and other IoT applications. TheSTM32F469/479MCU line delivers this performance through ST’sChrom-ART Acceleratorand the MIPI-DSI technology widely deployed in smartphones and tablets, without higher cost or shorter battery-lifetime penalties.

A vision MPU, claimed to be the first automotive vision SoC with the requisite reliability, safety and security measures to automate and ‘co-pilot’ a self-aware car, has been introduced by Freescale Semiconductor.Leveraging a host of automotive-grade technologies, the S32V takes the industry beyond the current, convenience-centric ‘assist’ paradigm and toward an era where cars can capture data, process it and actually shar...

Suitable for industrial and automotive M2M such as eCall and V2V communication, Infineon Technologies has introduced the SLM 97 and SLI 97 security controllers. The devices enable the full implementation of embedded SIM as defined by GSMA and ETSI, increasing flexibility and simplifying the deployment of new M2M solutions.

NXP Semiconductors has announced that it will acquire Athena SCS. The acquisition will further strengthen NXP’s offering in providing secure solutions across a multitude of IoT, portable, wearable and automotive applications.

Designed for the IoT market, the ATECC508A CryptoAuthentication IC has been released by Atmel. According to the company, the device is the first in the market to integrate the Elliptic Curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) security protocol and the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) sign-verify authentication.

Barco Silex has announced that it has added support for the Apple HomeKit to its Public Key IP core, in the form of Curve25519 and EdDSA. Barco Silex is the first IP provider offering hardware acceleration for these algorithms, which are especially suited to secure IoT applications.

Infineon Technologies has introduced embedded security controllers for premium handsets and smart wearables at Mobile World Congress 2015. The latest SOLID FLASH-based SLE 97 controllers provide what is claimed to be the industry’s highest memory capacity of up to 1.5MB in ultra-small packages.
