STMicroelectronics Develops Next-Generation Security-on-a-Chip for Smart Things

STMicroelectronics has brought together the latest digital security techniques in a single chip to protect Smart Things and Networks including those for utility infrastructure against cyber threats.
 
Focused on providing state-of-the-art security for connected objects, the STSAFE-J100 gives the object an unalterable identity that can be authenticated. It also handles encrypted communications and provides secure storage. It is easily integrated in IoT (Internet of Things) devices like smart meters, data concentrators, and utility gateways.
 
Customizable with market-specific applets, the STSAFE-J100 secure element combines CC EAL5+[1] certified hardware and a CC EAL5+ certified secure operating system.
 
The STSAFE-J100 extends ST’s track record in robust, user-friendly, hardware-digital security for e-government, transportation, banking, and consumer projects, with more than 1 billion embedded secure elements delivered yearly to protect devices and networks worldwide.
 
“Today’s on-line services and connection to remote objects need a high level of protection against ever-evolving cyber threats. It is crucial to offer device makers state-of-the-art security for a minimum integration effort,” said Laurent Degauque, marketing director, Secure Microcontroller Division, STMicroelectronics.
