SAN JOSE, Calif. and NUREMBERG,
Germany, March 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Designing in
crypto-strong authentication to protect internet of things (IoT)
device hardware, plus providing authenticity and integrity of small
data transactions between the device and the cloud, is now easier
and quicker with the MAXREFDES155# DeepCover® embedded
security reference design from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MXIM).

As more devices are connected to the internet, security becomes
a critical feature to authenticate networked equipment and sensors
and ensure that sensor endpoints and controls are operated
securely. Using elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA)
public-key cryptography, the MAXREFDES155# reference design makes
it easy to develop devices that can authenticate and manage a
sensing node with control and notification from a web server or
network controller. Customers can quickly collect and display the
authenticated sensor data, as well as monitor endpoints being
updated via secure communications with the cloud. The reference
design is ideal for IoT devices being adopted in a wide range of
industrial applications, from factory automation to smart
agriculture.
The MAXREFDES155# platform includes an Arduino® form factor ARM
mbed shield module and attached sensor endpoint. The shield
contains a DS2476 DeepCover ECDSA/SHA-2 coprocessor, LCD,
push-button controls, status LEDs, and Wi-Fi® communication. The
sensor endpoint contains a DS28C36 DeepCover ECDSA/SHA-2
authenticator, IR thermal sensor, and aiming laser for the IR
sensor. The reference design is equipped with a standard shield
connector for immediate testing using an mbed board such as the
MAX32600MBED#—the combination of these two devices represents an
IoT node.
Key Advantages
- Fast Time-to-Market: Significantly reduces development
time using the provided hardware and source code to implement a
public-key authenticated node solution and web server
interface
- Ease-of-Use: Free evaluation web server provides an
immediate out-of-the box implementation for real-time interaction
with the IoT device
- Efficient Crypto: Public-key based ECDSA implementation
provides strong security and effective key distribution that is
scalable from single to multi-node IoT deployments
Commentary
- "Maxim is bringing decades of experience developing secure
microcontrollers, coprocessors, and authenticators to our expanding
portfolio of DeepCover reference designs, making it simpler for
customers to implement their own security," said Scott Jones, Executive Director, Embedded
Security, Maxim Integrated. "This embedded security reference
design uses ECDSA asymmetric authentication, an optimal solution to
protect IoT devices."
- "The ability to protect connected devices and data paths is
vital, yet building in viable endpoint security features is complex
and time consuming," said Michael
Horne, Deputy General Manager and Vice President of
Marketing and Sales, IoT Business, ARM. "The MAXREFDES155# board,
combined with the ARM mbed IoT Device Platform with ARM Cortex®-M3
technology, provides a simplified path for designers to rapidly
implement security capabilities suitable for IoT."
