Bringing easy, cost-effective and secure way
for chipmakers to reach highest level of security for their
connected devices
Inside Secure (Paris:INSD) (Euronext Paris:INSD), at
the heart of security solutions for mobile and connected devices,
today announces the launch of its Silicon IP Programmable
Root-of-Trust Engine, the industry’s first RISC-V -based platform
security solution.
Protecting a complex system-on-a-chip (SoC) against inherent
threats is an important dimension of a robust security solution.
Today this critical capability is addressed by options that are
seen as complex and cumbersome, trying to secure non-secure worlds.
Chipmakers are looking for simpler, more cost-effective solutions
directly embedded at the heart of their SoC that will enable them
to reach highest level of security.
“A highly-protected execution environment for software is a
fundamental capability of connected devices,” said Simon
Blake-Wilson, chief operating officer of Inside Secure. “We are
excited to be the first to provide such advanced capabilities in
the open RISC-V environment, helping our customers to easily and
cost-effectively secure their chips.”
Inside Secure’s Programmable Root-of-Trust Engine is flexible
and customizable, making it especially well-suited for large and
fast-growing markets like automotive, connected home, industrial
IoT, datacenters and government applications. It provides the
foundation for the many chipmakers that aim to adopt an open
instruction set architecture.
This solution will also leverage the company’s widely-deployed
secure provisioning capability recently gained through its
acquisition of SypherMedia, to manage a device’s root-of-trust
through its entire life cycle.
Inside Secure’s Programmable Root-of-Trust Solution is a
fully-integrated, open and programmable alternative that plugs
easily into a SoC, and is part of the growing RISC-V open source
ecosystem. Within the SoC, it acts as a vault that guards the most
secret data, protecting against a wide range of threats such as
remote software attacks to invasive physical attacks. It is based
on Inside Secure’s silicon-proven and widely-adopted Root-of-Trust
Engine, formerly known as Vault-IP.
At its heart, Inside Secure’s Programmable Root-of-Trust has a
secure asset store tightly coupled with a complete set of crypto
engines that controls access and use of keys. This capability gives
developers the peace of mind that sensitive assets can never be
extracted off-chip. Chipmakers can now confidently secure their
most sensitive applications such as over-the-air (OTA) updates,
asset provisioning, enrollment and communications with the
Cloud.
About RISC-V
RISC-V is an instruction set architecture (ISA) initially
designed to support computer architecture research and education.
Today, it is set to become a standard open architecture for
industry implementations under the governance of the RISC-V
Foundation. Inside Secure is a Gold Member of the RISC-V
Foundation.
