This technology uses a sophisticated digital security architecture that includes a fully encrypted data path and a self-checking dual CPU core. Even if an attacker steals a data signal, it can only see encrypted and difficult information. Integrity Guard is designed for demanding high data security. , and the design is developed using an application with a very long cycle.
Thomas Rosteck, President of Infineon Smart Card and Security Chips Division, said: "We provide the world's most advanced technology with Integrity Guard, providing an unparalleled security solution for the connected world. With Integrity Guard technology, we are laying for chip security technical standard. "
The concept of Integrity Guard security technology is derived from the way information is stored and processed in living cells, or more precisely, the double helix of DNA. The technical realization of this innovation provides a powerful digital mechanism for security chips. Protecting data security and monitoring security, the security chip automatically responds to security threats through Integrity Guard. The core of this self-checking design is a dual CPU that performs a continuous self-check for all jobs. This provides "holistic protection" ( Integrity protection), hence the name "Integrity Guard".
Another key element of Integrity Guard is its full encryption of the overall data path to prevent the chip from displaying the exact code. This is the first of its kind in commercial security chips. Infineon has developed a new CPU from scratch to facilitate the integration of the actual encryption operation, reaching Full hardware encryption algorithms and different dynamic keys are used on the CPU.
Infineon's SLE 78 series has set new standards for government ID projects. Based on this success, Infineon has launched the SLC 52G as a next-generation security chip family. Combined with the existing SLE 78 product line, the extension The SLC 52G product portfolio is ready to meet government identification requirements beyond 2020.
Infineon's Integrity Guard technology has won the German Industry Innovation Award and the Sesame Award, both of which recognize outstanding innovations in this digital security technology. The German Federal Information Security Agency (BSI) also demonstrates that Infineon uses Integrity Guard technology for security. The chip meets the high security level of "Common Criteria". This is an internationally recognized standard for rigorous evaluation and certification of security chips. The security chip using Integrity Guard technology has more than 20 Common Criteria EAL 6 + Certification, maintenance certification or re-evaluation. The security chip also meets EMVCo's payment card security requirements.
