CHESEAUX-SUR-LAUSANNE, Switzerland, and PHOENIX, AZ, USA, April 2 2024 – Kudelski IoT, a division of the Kudelski Group (SIX: KUD.S), and Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP), today announced the integration of Kudelski IoT's keySTREAM with Microchip's ECC608 security ICs and TrustMANAGER. This strategic partnership marks a significant advancement in IoT device security, enabling dynamic, cloud-based provisioning and lifecycle management directly in the field. This avoids the complexities associated with in-factory provisioning and the risks associated with transporting key material throughout the value chain.

The integration of the ECC608 TrustMANAGER with Kudelski IoT’s keySTREAM platform provides a comprehensive solution for secure, scalable, and efficient device management. It facilitates the creation and management of a dynamic certificate chain, allowing devices to be provisioned and managed securely throughout their lifecycle. This approach not only streamlines the manufacturing process but also meets the increasing demands for security in the IoT space.

Frédéric Thomas, CTO of Kudelski IoT, emphasized the importance of the collaboration: "As IoT devices become more embedded in our everyday lives and critical industries, the need for robust security solutions has never been greater. Our partnership with Microchip Technology and the integration of keySTREAM with their ECC608 TrustMANAGER is a significant milestone. It not only advances our mission to secure the IoT ecosystem but also simplifies the provisioning and management of IoT devices, making security accessible to all."
