- Integrated security features can protect the connectivity products, data and intellectual property against emerging threats -
China, Beijing --2020 Nian 3 Yue 9 Ri - Silicon Labs (also known as "Silicon Labs", NASDAQ: SLAB) today introduced Secure Vault technology, advanced security features designed to help new suite can be connected to equipment manufacturers to deal with things ( IoT) security threats and regulatory pressures escalating. Silicon Labs' Wireless Gecko Series 2 platform by the first-class security software features and physical unclonable function (PUF) hardware technology, take full advantage of Secure Vault greatly reduces the risk of Things security vulnerabilities and intellectual property damaged.
Matt Johnson, senior vice president of Silicon Labs and was general manager of networking products, said: "With the rapid changes in the security situation, things developers are faced with security equipment and to enhance the regulatory pressure to meet the development needs of .Secure Vault can be used to take advantage of today IoT wireless SoC's most advanced hardware and software security features to simplify development and speed time to market and help equipment manufacturers develop products for the future. "
Secure Vault hardware features provide the best level of security in the wireless SoC solutions in a cost-effective. Security subsystem (including specific kernel, bus and memory) separate from the host processor. This unique design of the separate hardware key functions (e.g., encryption key management and security) isolation regions to their respective functions, so that the entire device more secure. New security features on a combination of regulatory measures is committed to addressing emerging companies is a very good choice, for example, to deal with GDPR Europe and California's SB-327 and other regulations.
Omdia senior network security analyst Tanner Johnson, said: "Embedded Security is an important demand IoT products, software updates just can not solve all the loopholes that exist and therefore unsafe hardware, hardware components can constitute the first line of safety equipment. defense, especially in the case of new regulations for the Internet of things has introduced a product safety. "
Secure Vault With a unique combination of hardware and software features to improve the IoT security, making it easier for product manufacturers to protect their brands, designs and consumer data. The wireless security system with integrated SoC designers can help simplify the development process, and can be connected through a wireless device update (OTA) way safely throughout the product lifecycle. By providing a genuine product can be connected to, trusted software or firmware, which helps mitigate unforeseen vulnerability, risk and respond to regulatory measures.
Secure Vault provides the following new security features:
- Safety equipment identity
One of the biggest challenges can be connected to the device after authentication is deployed. Silicon Labs factory trust Deployment Services with an optional security programming services, each individual silicon chip provides secure identity similar to the birth certificate to prove the device during IC manufacturing can to support post-deployment security, authenticity and health check based. The device certificate can ensure the reliability of chips in their life.
- Secure key management and storage
The effectiveness of the device and data access security solutions directly dependent on the secrecy of the key. Use Secure Vault, the key may be encrypted application code and isolated. As the master encryption key using the PUF generated to encrypt all keys, thus providing virtually unlimited secure key storage. Boot signature of each device is unique, and create a master key in the boot stage, eliminating the need for a master key storage, further reducing the avenues of attack.
- Advanced tamper detection
This feature provides a wide range of function, the tampering detection of complex products from silicon tamper protection housing is easy to realize through the voltage, frequency and temperature operation. Hackers use these changes to force hardware or software abnormal operation, thereby creating vulnerability to attack glitches. The tamper-response function can be configured so that developers can set an appropriate responsive action, including interrupt, reset or delete key in extreme cases.
Pricing and Availability
Silicon Labs is currently working on support for Secure Vault features of the new wireless SoC sampling test, scheduled for release at the end of the second quarter of 2020. For more information about Silicon Labs security technologies, please visit the website: silabs.com/security .
