How can you secure a sensing node?
At Sensors Expo 2018 in San Jose, CA, Martin Squibbs, Product Marketing Manager for Microchip Technology discusses the company’s newest SAM L11 microcontroller (MCU), the first on the market to have the Arm Cortex-M23 core with TrustZone. Leveraging TrustZone, the three differentiating features of the 32-bit MCU are high security, parallel capture (through a two-stage […]
OS and provisioning server solutions add SIM-grade identity for cellular IoT
Arm is launching new technologies compliant with GSMA Embedded SIM Specifications to offer secure identity in cellular IoT applications for both device makers and service providers. In combination with an on-chip security enclave for enhanced hardware security (such as Arm CryptoIsland), this will allow the integration of an MCU, cellular modem and SIM identity into […]
Your embedded security brief: Arm TrustZone explained
Arm TrustZone is a system-wide approach to embedded security option for the ARM Cortex-based processor systems. Cortex-based cores are used in everything from microcontrollers (MCUs) to high-performance processors. Arm TrustZone is an embedded security technology that starts at the hardware level by creating two environments that can run simultaneously on a single core: a secure […]
