In order to ensure that IoT devices can be managed securely, HCC Embedded has released its CryptoCore embedded-cryptography suite. With this new encryption suite, HCC provides a complete end-to-end security solution focused on system-level design and software-quality issues largely unaddressed in the industry.

To meet growing connectivity needs for buildings, factories and the grid, Texas Instruments has introduced its newest SimpleLink wireless and wired microcontrollers (MCUs). These new devices offer low power consumption and concurrent multi-standard and multi-band connectivity for Thread, Zigbee, Bluetooth5 and Sub-1GHz.

In order to meet the needs of developers designing the next-gen of secure, battery-powered connected devices for the IoT,Silicon Labs has expanded its EFM32 Tiny Gecko microcontroller (MCU) family.Silicon Labs’ new EFM32TG11 Tiny Gecko MCUs provide a cost-effective, ultra-low-power solution for connected devices requiring long battery life and no compromises in features or security.

RS Components has introduced the MPLABPICkit4 in-circuit debugger/programmer from Microchip, which enables fast and easy debugging and programming of PICmicrocontrollers (MCUs) and dsPICdigital signal controllers (DSCs) using the MPLAB X integrated development environment (IDE).

Most sensitive web transactions are protected by public-key cryptography, a type of encryption that lets computers share information securely without first agreeing on a secret encryption key.Public-key encryption protocols are complicated, and in computer networks, they’re executed by software.

The recent Meltdown and Spectre problems have highlighted the vulnerability of computer chips to hacking that can, at least, be addressed through software patches. However, another area that is increasingly a target for hackers is IoT where each node in an IoT network can provide an entry point to a company's corporate systems, in a similar manner to the way that home security cameras, robot vacuum cleaners, have been hacked.

Reamining an important area, the debugging process is where many embedded design engineersould like to see improvements, according to AspenCore’s 2017 Embedded Market Study. To address these needs and enhance the development experience, Microchip Technology introduces the MPLAB PICkitTM 4 In-Circuit Debugger.

You could describe the last few weeks as a whirlwind of speculation and revelations around a new set of security issues known as Spectre and Meltdown. Collectively, these issues impact most of the major processor architectures and implementations, prompting the cross-cutting question: ‘What should I do about these issues?’ Guest blog by Tim Skutt.

Two new products have been announced by Microchip,the ATECC608A CryptoAuthentication device, a secure element that allows developers to add hardware-based security to their designs, and a Security Design Partner Programme for connecting developers with third-party partners that can enhance and expedite secure designs.

Digital change has enormous strategic and operational opportunities, but also a wealth of challenges and dangers. Systems are being attacked almost daily by hackers. There are many measures needed to guard against attacks; one among them is getting the necessary know-how on board. Author:Henning Sander, Head of the Banking Business Unit, Hager
