Trådløs platform til sikker IoT-device opkobling

STMicroelectronics og ClevX tilbyder industriens første trådløse bruger-godkendelses teknologiplatform til IoT-device sikkerhed (in english).

For the first time, users can interact with secure portable storage (full-disk, XTS-AES 256-bit encryption) from their smartphones or wearable devices where all user data on the drive is encrypted and can be locked/unlocked using single- or multi-factor authentication. The technology is ideally suited for consumer, corporate, and industrial applications such as healthcare, home automation and security, secure-access control systems, and portable data storage.

-IoT-device authentication has long required trade-offs among security, convenience and mobility. The ClevX DataLock BT-secured portable storage provides the capability to actually enjoy the best of all worlds, says Luca Difalco, VP of Marketing at STMicroelectronics’ Americas Region.

- While we’re demonstrating the capability in an easy-to-use hardware-encrypted secure USB-Drive, the elegance and versatility of the solution is provided by an application that we can add to our BlueNRG device to make lock-down security accessible via Bluetooth Smart.
 
ST and ClevX have reference designs for secure portable storage media, including Flash, hard-disk, and solid-state disk drives. These designs use ST’s Bluetooth Smart chips (BlueNRG) and ultra-low-power STM32L0 MCUs and are immediately available for licensing and partnerships, including both ST/ClevX-based hardware and firmware in addition to the related smartphone and wearables apps.

The ST/ClevX reference designs are OS-host agnostic. USB drives with the DataLock BT technology operate across all computer platforms and embedded systems while providing various easy-to-use security layers (including a wireless lock/unlock mechanism, phone as an authentication factor, phone + PIN, or phone + PIN + userID/location/time). The reference designs support USB Remote Management, which can be critical for corporate deployments and remote password resets, drive disabling and erasing, and successful implementation of corporate-wide policies.

- With the sensitive personal and corporate information that people carry on their USB drives, loss can easily lead to substantial financial penalties and undesired public disclosure, says Lev Bolotin, Founder/CEO, ClevX, LLC.

- Using ST and ClevX technologies, the DataLock BT Security solution protects data on a USB with ease and elegance. Consumers, healthcare workers, mobile professionals, and corporations can improve their productivity and security on-the-go by using their phones to authenticate themselves to their USB drives and change security options, as required.
