Microchip udbygger støtte til cybersikre produkter
For at hjælpe producenter med honorere kravene i cybersikkerheds regulativer udvider Microchip firmaets Trust Platform (in english).
As cybersecurity regulations tighten worldwide, product manufacturers must embed security from the outset to meet compliance. To help developers address emerging requirements such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), industrial and automotive cybersecurity standards, Microchip Technology has expanded its Trust Platform with the TA101 TrustFLEX secure authentication integrated circuit (IC) and the TA101 TrustMANAGER with keySTREAM service from Kudelski Labs.
Designed for products subject to CRA legislation as well as developers building software-defined vehicle (SDV) architectures, TA101 Trust Platform devices support multiple deployment models - both for companies with an existing cloud infrastrukture and companies without.
For industrial applications, the Trust Platform helps support International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62443 standards and CRA compliance with PKI-based authentication, securely authenticated communications, centralized security, lifecycle management and authenticated firmware updates.
Additionally, Microchip’s in-factory or in-field provisioning services help streamline conformity assessments and technical documentation.
- Security requirements are expanding rapidly, presenting developers with significant challenges in complexity of implementing cryptographic key management and secure updates. At Microchip, we believe security can facilitate innovation, not slow it down. Our Trust Platform simplifies the security lifecycle and enables easy integration, helping customers bring products to market faster and with confidence, says Nuri Dagdeviren, corporate vice president of Microchip’s secure computing group.
The TA101 TrustFLEX (TA101-TFLXTLS) IC is preconfigured at the factory for common security use cases that help enable rapid, hardware-based authentication without designing cryptographic configurations from scratch.
This approach is designed to reduce development time, ease documentation efforts and lessen security risks compared to manually configured security ICs. The secure provisioning of keys happens at Microchip’s certified factories following Common Criteria practices.
The TA101 TrustMANAGER (TA101-TMNGTLS) enables remote configurability and management of cryptographic keys throughout the product lifecycle. Integrated with the Kudelski keySTREAM Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, TrustMANAGER supports secure in-field provisioning, monitoring, key revocation, code signing and FOTA updates.
In automotive applications, the TA101-TMNGTLS supports software-defined vehicle architectures because it is designed to provide scalable, secure FOTA and key management to help confirm that only authenticated software and commands are accepted by electronic control units (ECUs).
This supports compliance with International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE) 21434 standards and United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) WP.29 automotive cybersecurity regulations by providing controls for mitigating cybersecurity risks.
