- Proven and standards-compliant authentication ICs from ST and
embedded-security software by Security Platform to create complete
drop-in solutions for IoT security
- Joint offering demands minimal system resources and preserves
convenience for users
Geneva, Sungnam, June 28, 2017 - STMicroelectronics
(NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across
the spectrum of electronics applications, and Security Platform
Inc., a Korea-based technology innovator enabling trusted
connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT), are bringing robust,
efficient, and easy-to-use security solutions to IoT devices.
The IoT comprises potentially billions of tiny, connected,
embedded computing devices to help manage services and
infrastructure automatically. The devices communicate through the
Internet and share data with the Cloud, and so need strong but
lightweight and convenient security to prevent cyber-attackers
intercepting sensitive information or infecting connected devices
with malware.
Trusted Computing helps keep networks safe by combining
specially designed secure ICs and software that help check the
integrity and verify the credentials of any device that is
connected or attempts to connect. ST and Security Platform are
working to simplify implementation of highly secure IoT devices,
leveraging Trusted Computing principles.
"Working with Security Platform, we aim to solve all the
hardware-software integration challenges, providing a seamless path
for IoT-device makers to implement best-in-class security for smart
connected devices," said Laurent Degauque, Secure Microcontrollers
Division (SMD) Marketing Director, STMicroelectronics. "Our
STSAFE-TPM Trusted Platform Module is proven, reliable, certified
to international security standards, and provides the perfect
foundation for this objective."
"The embedded-security software technology from Security
Platform makes it possible to embed light yet powerful protection
features into lightweight IoT devices with limited resources at the
manufacturing stage," said Su-ik Hwang, CEO of Security Platform.
"The integration with STSAFE-TPM from a leading Secure MCU provider
ST helped us create a total security solution that enables devices
to be intrinsically resistant to cyber-attacks to ensure the safety
and success of the IoT."
ST's STSAFE-TPM is a Trusted Platform Module that provides
secure storage for data such as cryptographic keys needed to
authenticate the system, using proven techniques such as
anti-tamper, memory protection, and data-watching prevention. It
meets industry-recognized security standards including Trusted
Computing Group (TCG) TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0 protection profiles,
IT-security Common Criteria Level 4+ (CC EAL4+) certification, and
US Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2.
Using its Axio-OS secure operating system and Axio-RA
remote-attestation verification solution, Security Platform checks
for breaches of integrity by verifying the hash information of the
device from a separate server. Together, these software modules
also provide anti-cloning and anti-forgery protection, and process
device authentication, message signing, and security update using
only the appropriate signing code.
While this collaboration will deliver a pre-integrated,
ready-to-use solution, it builds on the existing independent
STSAFE-TPM ICs and Axio-OS and Axio-RA software the companies are
already marketing and can help customers tie together. In these
instances, Security Platform can supply Axio-OS and Axio-RA with a
developer kit comprising a board and chipset to aid
integration.
STSAFE-TPMs are available within the larger STSAFE family of ICs
from ST, which are tailored to support platform integrity,
authentication, secure storage and other cryptographic services in
various classes of connected devices from small IoT devices to
industrial or consumer products, and desktop computers.
