As technology and network security standards continue to evolve, Microchip Technology Inc. provides customers with more convenient embedded security solutions through its CEC1736 TrustFLEX device. The CEC1736 Trust Shield family is a microcontroller-based platform root of trust solution that provides cyber resiliency for data centers, telecommunications, networking, embedded computing and industrial applications. The devices are partially configured with Microchip's signed Soteria-G3 firmware, helping to reduce the development time required to integrate the platform's root of trust. Additionally, they streamline secure manufacturing processes that comply with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Open Compute Project (OCP) standards.
The CEC1736 TrustFLEX device is designed to meet NIST 800-193 platform resiliency guidelines and OCP requirements to support the security capabilities required to implement a hardware root of trust in a variety of markets. The Trusted Platform Design Kit allows customers to personalize platform-specific configuration settings as needed, including unique credentials to support any application, host processor or SoC booted from an external SPI flash device, extending the root of trust in the system.
"Microchip has been an industry leader in simplifying secure configuration from design to deployment for devices and platforms of all sizes," said Nuri Dagdeviren, vice president of Secure Computing at Microchip. "Our solutions include OCP-compliant root of trust devices. .With the preconfigured CEC1736 TrustFLEX family, we are helping to lower the barrier to entry, making it easier for customers to deploy a platform root of trust, and enable faster prototyping and time to market."
CEC1736 TrustFLEX supports modern firmware security features such as SPI bus monitoring, secure boot, component certification and lifecycle management, ensuring that pre-boot and live environments are protected from on-site and remote threats. The mixed-signal advanced I/O CEC1736 controller is highly configurable and integrates a 32-bit 96 MHz Arm Cortex-M4 processor core with tightly coupled memory to provide optimal code execution and data access capabilities.
