Secure Deploy and SentriX® leverage advanced security features
of the SAM L11 MCU to support the growing need for IoT security
solutions
Secure Thingz, a global domain expert in device security,
embedded systems, and lifecycle management, and Data I/O
Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), a leading provider of advanced
data programming and security provisioning solutions for flash
memory, flash-based microcontrollers, secure elements and
authentication ICs, announced their collaboration to deliver a
secure provisioning solution for the new SAM L11 MCU family from
Microchip Technology Inc. This solution gives Microchip an
industry-leading secure and scalable platform to enable the rapid
growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) market and its need for
increased security.
According to ABI Research, by 2022, an estimated 70% of the
world’s 57 billion connected devices will be targeted for the IoT.
Microchip, Secure Thingz and Data I/O recognize that enabling the
security needed to support the robust IoT growth takes
collaboration among silicon vendors, OEMs, and other members of the
supply ecosystem for easier delivery and implementation through an
end-to-end solution that starts with secure elements and security
MCUs, and incorporates secure development, manufacturing and
downstream provisioning.
Microchip’s new SAM L11 MCU is based on the Arm® Cortex®-M23
core, with the SAM L11 featuring Arm TrustZone® for Armv8-M, a
programmable environment that provides hardware isolation between
certified libraries, IP and application code. The secure
provisioning solution is built upon the Secure Thingz’ Secure
Deploy architecture, which is integrated into the Data I/O SentriX™
security provisioning platform.
“IoT security requirements are rapidly growing to meet the
demands of industry best practices and forthcoming legislation,
including concepts around secure supply chains and advanced
identity provisioning,” said Haydn Povey, CEO of Secure Thingz.
“Enabling this security takes a robust ecosystem and knowledgeable
partners. We are pleased to work with Microchip to help bring its
low-cost, high-security SAM L11 MCU to market more quickly through
our secure provisioning solution with Data I/O, and ensure it can
be supported across the product lifecycle.”
“As attacks on Internet-of-Things increase, IoT OEMs of all
sizes must have a cost-effective and integrated method to enable
hardware-based security from product design through manufacturing,”
said Anthony Ambrose, president and CEO of Data I/O Corporation.
“Data I/O is excited to partner with Secure Thingz and Microchip to
enable security provisioning for the Microchip SAM L11 MCU on the
SentriX platform. Because SentriX is deployed at distributors and
programming centers, security provisioning is available to OEMs of
all size and volume with no minimum order quantities.”
“The growth of IoT nodes is happening so fast that security is
not always addressed,” said Rod Drake, vice president of
Microchip’s MCU32 business unit. “The features of the SAM L11 are
exactly what customers need to plan for security early in the
design cycle, and our partnership with Secure Thingz and Data I/O
enables our customers to get secure products into the market more
quickly.”
The Secure Thingz Secure Deploy Architecture
The Secure Deploy architecture is an advanced integrated
solution for delivering the supply chain of trust. The Secure
Deploy architecture has been designed to enhance and simplify
security implementations across the lifecycle of product creation,
manufacturing, and management. This enables organizations to build
upon secure foundations to protect their intellectual property
across the life cycle of their products.
The Data I/O SentriX Secure Provisioning Platform
Data I/O's SentriX platform is a comprehensive, flexible and
cost-effective system to provision roots of trust in security
conscious markets such as automotive and IoT. The SentriX platform
provisions secure elements, authentication ICs and security
microcontrollers one device at a time. This enables customers of
all sizes and demand profiles to take full advantage of the latest
silicon-enabled security features without disruptive change to
their production and logistics flows.
