Setting A New Security Benchmark

Kudelski IoT's Semiconductor Alliances Redefine IoT Provisioning - Seite 2

Kudelski IoT’s collaborative partnerships with STMicroelectronics, Infineon, and Silicon Laboratories offer keySTREAM in-field provisioning as an optional service to OEMs.  Kudelski IoT libraries are integrated with semiconductor partner tools to enable device manufacturers to personalize their products in the factory or in the field.

Both models enable OEMs to have full control over provisioning, storing, and managing credentials like PKI keys and certificates in their devices, creating the unique, secure identities that form the foundation for numerous security lifecycle management functions like secure boot, secure FOTA, data encryption and authentication and secure feature enablement.

The automated keySTREAM process eliminates the need for the complex and error-prone management of pre-provisioned inventory supplied by a chip manufacturer or third-party IC provisioning services. It also helps OEMs comply with the emerging security regulations and standards in the Smart Home, Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Industrial Automation and Control, Healthcare, Medical Devices, Aerospace, Defense, and other industries served by semiconductor manufacturers. Regulatory and standards requirements are increasingly demanding the types of security features enabled by keySTREAM.

The Kudelski Group has three decades of experience in device credential provisioning and has worked with dozens of chipset manufacturers and thousands of chipset models. Kudelski IoT is recognized worldwide as a source of security certificates, including as a provider of Matter Device Attestation Certificates (DACs) recognized by the Connectivity Standards Alliance.

Hardy Schmidbauer, Senior Vice President at Kudelski IoT, said, “For many IoT device manufacturers, security provisioning is today a laborious manual process that is prone to error, seriously compromising the security of individual devices, or even of a manufacturer’s whole chain of security. By partnering with top IC manufacturers, Kudelski IoT is making provisioning a simpler, more automated, and secure process than ever before. And innovative partners like Microchip are making it even more attractive to OEMs by offering the provisioning service as a core part of their offering; a model which we anticipate others will adopt in the future.”
