On February 27, 2018, NXP Semiconductors introduced the new A71CH Secure Element Trust Anchor, an on-demand, secure solution for next-generation IoT devices such as edge nodes and gateways designed to protect point-to-point Or cloud connection security, presetting the required confidential information for autonomous cloud access and point-to-point authentication.The solution provides a root of trust (RoT) at the chip level, with encryption key storage, key generation and Derivatives and other security features to protect the privacy of data and two-way verification.
Philippe Dubois, general manager of NXP IoT Security Solutions, said: "Businesses are now beginning to recognize the importance of securing IoT devices and connections in future cloud applications and services but lacking knowledge of integration or appropriate security solutions The A71CH has all the technical features built into it to meet the mass market's need for security and to meet the growing and evolving needs of the IoT market by providing a root of trust. "The A71CH has the following features: Protected Access to Sensitive Information, Access Master processor encryption / authentication interface, certificate based TLS setting (NIST P-256), preset shared key (TLS-PSK) setting TLS, wireless message authentication (HMAC), ECC key generation and Signature Verification, Symmetric Key Derivatives, Encryption Libraries (Key Encapsulation, Derivatives, Locking) for Product Master Keys, Encryption Key Injection The most unique feature of this is its 'plug-and-play' approach, which allows for easy integration Security and cloud access, such as through the master chip library functions and development kits that are compatible with various NXP microcontrollers (MCUs and MPUs) platforms such as Kinetis and i.MX. In addition, Code and various application notes to streamline the design flow. In addition to NXP's trusted configuration service, customers can access any number of easy personalization services through the A71CH, in cooperation with Data I / O. , A new secure IC that gives developers the freedom to innovate and deploy security solutions even with limited security know-how.The new A71CH supports NXP's vision of enabling smart, secure, edge-computing applications built on NXP Market-proven identification product portfolio that has seen great success in the authentication, payment, transportation and access control markets.
