As the benefits of IoT devices grow, so does the importance of
security throughout the network that spans from cloud, servers and
hubs to the individual connected devices. With both hardware and
software support for the security requirements in today’s IoT
devices, Samsung’s SE solution will help chip manufacturers to
easily employ reliable security features, and bring innovative
products and services to market faster.
At the hardware level, Samsung’s SE will stop and reset itself
the moment it detects abnormal activity, thus protecting the
sensitive data stored within the security IC (integrated circuit).
The SE adopts embedded flash (eFlash) for the first time in the
industry at the 45-nanometer (nm) process node, which brings faster
data processing and more flexible software modifications compared
to traditional EEPROMs (electrically erasable programmable
read-only memory).
Samsung’s dedicated software for the SE supports various tasks
such as personal verification, security key storage, and encoding
and decoding. This software also allows key and authentication
information to be safely transferred between devices, servers and
clouds.
“Securing personal information stored on electronic devices and
in the cloud is a top priority,” said Ben K. Hur, Vice President of
System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung’s Secure
Element solution is another demonstration of our advanced security
technology that has been proven through mobile application
processors (AP), smart card ICs and other semiconductor products.
We believe that applications for Samsung’s SE solution will
continue to diversify along with the vastly expanding IoT
industry.”
The SE and developer board are on display at the Samsung
Developer Conference on October 18 and 19, 2017, in San Francisco,
USA.
