NXP Unveils Secure Platform Solution for the IoT
February 13 2017 - 11:10AM
RSA Conference 2017 – Electronic security and
trust are key concerns in the digital era, which are magnified as
everything becomes connected in the Internet of Things (IoT). NXP
Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI) today disclosed details of a
secure platform for building trusted connected products. The QorIQ
Layerscape Secure Platform, built on the NXP trust architecture
technology, enables developers of IoT equipment to easily build
secure and trusted systems. The platform provides a complete set of
hardware, software and process capabilities to embed security and
trust into every aspect of a product's life cycle.
Recent security breaches show that even mundane devices like
web-cameras or set-top boxes can be used to both attack the
Internet infrastructure and/or spy on their owners. IoT solutions
cannot be secured against such misuse unless they are built on
technology that addresses all aspects of a secure and trusted
product lifecycle. In offering the Layerscape Secure Platform, NXP
leverages decades of experience supplying secure embedded systems
for military, aerospace, and industrial markets.
The key elements of the Layerscape Secure Platform are:
- NXP Trust Architecture; the silicon-based hardware root of
trust. The trust architecture technology provides secure boot,
secure debug, anti-tamper, run-time integrity checking (RTIC) and
secret key protection capabilities.
- Secure Provisioning Tool; provides code signing, security
hardware policy configuration, secure credential installation and
maintenance, with easy integration into OEM and 3rd party Device
Life Cycle Management (DLM) frameworks.
- Trusted Linux; includes trusted applications and trusted
services built on a secure OS.
- Network Security Suite; provides secure connectivity via
hardware accelerated security protocols including IPsec & SSL,
as well as firewall and deep packet inspection capabilities.
“Security and trust are essential in our connected world,” said
Noy Kucuk, Vice President, Digital Networking at NXP. “No device
should connect to the Internet unless it has been built upon a
secure and trusted platform. All NXP QorIQ processors include the
trust architecture technology which provides the hardware root of
trust that is the foundation of the Layerscape Secure
Platform.”
“What is new is the software we’re providing around trust
architecture,” continued Kucuk. “The Layerscape Secure
Platform is a comprehensive offering to support the use of trust
features and security acceleration throughout the system’s
lifecycle. We’re making it easier for customers to implement
advanced security in their products.”
“NXP is well known for the security features built into its
embedded processors,” said Linley Gwennap, principal analyst of The
Linley Group. “The Layerscape Secure Platform is a comprehensive
package of hardware and software for implementing security in
embedded systems, including network equipment and IoT devices. As
recent events have unfortunately demonstrated, strong security
should be the foremost concern of today’s product designers.”
The Layerscape Secure Platform provides the necessary tools and
infrastructure to help IoT device and IoT gateway OEMs and ODMs
build, deploy, maintain, and even decommission trusted systems.
Layerscape Secure Platform tools and methods support distributed
manufacturing models, without requiring the manufacturing sites to
be equally secure and trustworthy.
Designers and manufacturers can also leverage NXP’s deep
security expertise via security consulting services to review
current processes, identify potential vulnerabilities, and explore
solutions.
Selected unique capabilities of NXP’s trust architecture
technology to prevent tampering of the system at run-time (RTIC)
will be showcased during RSA 2017. Attendees and media are invited
to experience the demonstration at RSA 2017, booth #S1244 in San
Francisco’s Moscone Convention Center.
