The demand for IoT security is expected to sprout the MCU

Internet of Things (IoT) security has always been a topic of concern, but the current case of implementing security protection mechanisms in Europe and the United States is still much more than the industry in the Asia Pacific region. The reason is that in addition to the European and American markets pay more attention to security issues, the cost and resources required to implement security mechanisms are also one of the obstacles. However, the number of inquiries about safety MCUs in Asian companies has increased significantly recently, and the demand for IoT security is expected to sprout.

Yan Xinyi, manager of the technology marketing project of STMicroelectronics Security Microcontroller, said that as more and more products add networking functions, the user’s personal leakage or the remote intrusion of the system by the hacker has also been heard, which has led to the security of the Internet of Things. Value. In view of this, networked hardware manufacturers based in Europe and the United States have invested more in information security and functional security protection.

In order to protect the information security and functional security of IoT applications, product manufacturers can import four types of protection mechanisms, namely, encrypted memory, firmware with security protection, encryption file library in MCU program code or specialization. The secure MCU acts as a Secure Element. In terms of security protection capabilities, the security MCU has the strongest protection level and has the corresponding defense capability for most software/hardware hacking methods. However, for product manufacturers, because of the introduction of additional chips and firmware, it is necessary to invest in the corresponding cost and development resources, forming a certain barrier to import.

In view of this, STMicroelectronics recently launched a series of highly integrated STSAFE-A turnkey solutions, including MCU chips, embedded software, development tools and host library (Host Library), which can be greatly reduced to the Internet of Things. Apply the resources required to import high-intensity security mechanisms. In addition, because STSAFE-A is a solution optimized for IoT applications, its cost is quite competitive. When purchasing in large quantities, the chip price is below US$1.

Yan Xinyi pointed out that IoT applications require stronger security protection capabilities, which is the consensus of the entire industry. Following the introduction of security elements in the IoT hardware by European and American players, the attitude of product manufacturers in the Asia-Pacific region is also more active than ever, and the market inquiries about related solutions are showing signs of warming. At this stage, the Italian law will give priority to industrial computer and automation equipment manufacturers, because the demand for safety of such products is relatively urgent. In fact, in the European and American markets, industrial IoT customers are also the first to introduce a secure MCU customer base, and the demand for consumer Internet of Things is slower.

As for Taiwan, local players are no strangers to the security element, because in the PC/server field, Intel and Microsoft's Trusted Platform Module (TPM) has become quite popular, many commercial notebooks. Both the computer and the server have been installed, and the Italian company has a corresponding solution. However, TPM is a technology designed for PC/server. For IoT applications based on the ARM architecture, TPM is not the ideal solution. Therefore, STMicroelectronics has introduced STSAFE-A for IoT applications. Series solutions.
