Security development tool helps meet new IoT compliance standards
IAR Systems announces the addition of support for a number of MCU devices from NXP Semiconductors within its security development tool C-Trust. This enhanced device support helps embedded developers to implement security, and ultimately helps meet new compliance standards from recent security legislations for IoT products that are already in development or production. Furthermore, in […]
How to tackle the tough stuff around IoT security – Part 2
In part 1 of this interview with Jason Soroko, CTO of IoT for Sectigo, and Alan Grau, former president and owner of Icon Labs and now VP of IoT/Embedded solutions at Sectigo, we learned how the acquisition of Icon Labs by Sectigo was a strategic move to being able to offer end-to-end and purpose-built IoT […]
How to tackle the tough stuff around IoT security – Part 1
Perhaps recognizing that they just can’t solve all this IoT-device security stuff alone, we are beginning to see movement by IoT device manufacturers to look to security platform and IT security experts to help enable device security end-to-end — from manufacture to implementation in the field. This past May, CA (Certificate Authority) and security solutions […]
Less bullet-proof than you think: Gauging security hazards on the IoT
Engineers developing products for the IoT need to plan security measures that grow more sophisticated over time to thwart attackers who get better at wreaking havoc. Lars Lydersen, Silicon Labs Skepticism about Internet of Things (IoT) security seems to be high. Ironically, for many industries, the key to not being hacked is simply to not […]
Authenticator IC provides defense against counterfeiting, unauthorized usage and use of substandard sensor clones
Embedded systems designers can now easily and cost-effectively integrate the industry’s most advanced crypto-strong authentication into their designs with the DS28E50 DeepCover secure hash algorithm 3 (SHA3-256) authenticator IC from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. The SHA3-256 provides the latest technology for challenge-and-response authentication, providing the strongest defense against counterfeiting, unauthorized usage and other application problems in a […]
IC secures contactless transactions, maintains NFC connections in wearables
STMicroelectronics and Fidesmo, the contactless-services developer and Mastercard Approved Global Vendor, have created a turnkey active solution for secure contactless payments on smartwatches and other wearable technology. The complete payment system-on-chip (SoC) is based on ST’s STPay-Boost IC, which combines a hardware secure element to protect transactions and a contactless controller featuring proprietary active-boost technology […]
Ultra-low-light image sensor detects both visible and NIR wavelengths
OmniVision Technologies, Inc announced the OS02C10, a 2.9-micron, 2-megapixel image sensor with breakthrough ultra-low-light (ULL) technology. Combining ULL with OmniVision’s industry-leading Nyxel near-infrared (NIR) technology, the OS02C10 works equally well in all lighting conditions. It can detect incident light in both visible and NIR wavelengths and produce precise color and monochrome images for security applications. […]
New canting kit for extruded enclosure
Enclosures manufacturer OKW has launched a case canting kit to optimize its SMART-TERMINAL extruded enclosures for table-top use. SMART-TERMINAL is designed for peripheral and interface equipment, communications, safety engineering, biometrics, medical and laboratory technology, healthcare, measurement and control engineering. The new case canting kit inclines SMART-TERMINAL by 12° to create an ergonomic reading and operating […]
