Platform enables easy and economical FIPS 140-2
Level 3[1]-compliant solutions that satisfy ever-increasing
security requirements in healthcare, home automation, secure-access
control systems, and portable data storage
Geneva, Switzerland and Seattle, WA - March 14,
2017 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of
electronics applications, and ClevX, an intellectual-property
innovator and technology developer for portable storage and mobile
device manufacturers, today announced the availability of a FIPS
140-2 Level 3 compliant Encryption Technology Platform reference
design for security applications using commercial/industrial-,
rather than military-grade chips. The STM32 microcontroller-based
platform will aid designers and manufacturers to design and build
highly secure FIPS-compliant solutions suited for applications that
require certified cryptographic functions. These application
domains include consumer, corporate, and industrial applications in
healthcare, home automation and security, secure-access control
systems, and portable data storage.
"Using the STM32's advanced security features helped ClevX
fortify their secure portable-storage reference platform," said
Tony Keirouz, VP IoT Strategy, Security, and Microcontrollers,
STMicroelectronics' Americas Region. "With the reference platform's
quality independently proven through its FIPS 140-2 Level 3
certification, and the benefit of using high-quality
commercial-grade products instead of military-grade ones, designers
and manufacturers can meet their application's security needs on
time and on budget."
The new ST/ClevX reference design is based on the ClevX-patented
DataLock / DataLock BT technology platform for secure
portable-storage media. The design uses ST's ultra-low-power STM32
MCUs and Bluetooth® Low Energy chips (BlueNRG), along with both
ST/ClevX-based hardware, firmware and the related
smartphone/wearables app is immediately available for licensing and
partnerships.
"With ever-increasing public and corporate requirements for
privacy and security," said Lev Bolotin, Founder/CEO, ClevX, LLC,
"the DataLock[2] and DataLock® BT Security solutions use ST and
ClevX technologies to allow designers and manufacturers to create
and build cost-effective FIPS 140-2-compliant solutions that are
simple to use while allowing legitimate operators to authenticate
themselves to the devices and systems they need to use with
FIPS-compliant solutions."
