Hardware and software security solution enables Features as a Service
(FaaS) for mobile and IoT applications
SUNNYVALE, Calif. & BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus
Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced that its
Cryptography Research division is extending its CryptoManager security
platform from SoC management and device personalization to offer
in-field feature and service provisioning capabilities for application
developers and service providers. This advancement enables complete
silicon-to-cloud functionality to support the growing requirements of
trusted applications, including secure mobile banking, identity and
entertainment, as well as IoT device security.
"The semiconductor industry is experiencing tremendous change and new
models of enablement will be needed to help reignite innovation across
the market," said Dr. Martin Scott, senior vice president and general
manager for the Rambus Cryptography Research division. "With the growing
demand for flexibility at any point in the chip lifecycle, the expanded
CryptoManager platform allows device and service providers to securely
enable or disable features in-field, unlocking the full value of SoCs
and delivering Features as a Service (FaaS)."
The CryptoManager platform includes:
-
Security Engine: A flexible root-of-trust implemented as an
embedded hardware core, or with this extension, as a software agent
for the secure provisioning, configuration, and authentication of keys
and features in SoCs throughout the lifecycle of a device.
-
Secure Infrastructure: A complete suite including a root
server, management server with unified user interface, in-factory
hardware appliance cluster and ATE client lib for the secure delivery,
programing and management of secure keys throughout the SoC supply
chain and downstream ecosystem.
-
Trusted Provisioning Services: Local and cloud-based trusted
key creation, delivery and authentication including optional hosting,
operation and maintenance of the CryptoManager Infrastructure for
secure SoC and device manufacturers, as well as application developers
and service providers, to enable in-field provisioning of device
features and functionality.
The expanded CryptoManager security platform provides a secure
foundation for downstream device configuration, providing chipmakers the
flexibility needed for post-manufacturing inventory management and
creating a trusted path from service providers to consumers for feature
enablement.
