Data I/O Partners with Secure Thingz to Deliver Scripting Interface Upgrade to the SentriX™ Secure Provisioning System
November 13 2018 - 5:00AM
Scripting Interface significantly accelerates support
for Secure Elements and Secure Microcontrollers on the SentriX
Secure Provisioning System
Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), a leading global provider of
advanced data programming and security provisioning solutions for
flash-memory, flash based microcontrollers, secure elements and
authentication ICs, announces the immediate availability of the
Scripting Interface, developed in a collaboration with Secure
Thingz, for the SentriX™ Secure Provisioning System. The Scripting
Interface, based on the next-generation Secure Deploy platform from
Secure Thingz, provides a leap forward in enabling rapid device
support for the Data I/O SentriX Secure Provisioning System.
“Although our customers may not directly interact with the
Scripting Interface, they will nonetheless benefit greatly from its
inclusion in SentriX,” said Anthony Ambrose, President and CEO of
Data I/O Corporation. “Scripting makes the interface between the
Secure Thingz Guardian Hardware Security module (HSM) and the other
components of the Data I/O SentriX System more powerful and
flexible. This will result in many more devices supported on the
SentriX platform and faster time to market for a new device support
request.” “To realize the promise of the IoT and facilitate the
development of innovative IoT applications, IoT device security
must be easier to implement, and with the inclusion of the
Scripting Interface in the latest release of Secure Deploy, Secure
Thingz and Data I/O are accelerating the availability of secure
devices,” said Haydn Povey, CEO of Secure Thingz. “The rapid
adoption of Secure Deploy™ across an evolving ecosystem including
Data I/O, Arrow Electronics, Avnet and more underscores the
industry’s recognition of its ability to mitigate threats to
connected devices. The combination of Secure Deploy 2.0 and SentriX
better serves this accelerating demand from OEMs and global
semiconductor partners by reducing the time and effort required to
support the wide variety of use cases that can be
implemented.”
The SentriX Secure Provisioning System already supports Secure
Elements from partners such as NXP Semiconductor, Maxim Integrated
and Infineon Technologies. The Scripting Interface allows Data I/O
and Secure Thingz to expand this support to include Secure
Microcontrollers such as the Cypress Semiconductor PSoC® 6 MCU
Family, Microchip Technology SAML11 MCU Family and Renesas
Electronics Synergy™ Platform.
The Scripting interface will be delivered as an upgrade to the
existing SentriX platforms already deployed in secure provisioning
centers around the world such as those found at Arrow Electronics
and Avnet, Inc.

SentriX™ Security Provisioning Platform
The SentriX Platform provides a trusted, secured
and cost-effective provisioning solution for OEMs of any size to
embed a hardware-based root of trust in silicon during the
manufacturing flow for their IoT products. This process of
provisioning silicon devices enables OEMs to add their own unique
identity which is cryptographically tied to an embedded hardware
based root-of-trust and can prevent unauthorized firmware from
executing on the device. An IoT product secured in this way also
enables OEMs to provide secure updates to their products in the
field. Hardware-based security enabled by the SentriX system also
insures supply chain integrity during the manufacturing process.
Unauthorized production and cloning are prevented with this
approach. Some of the world’s largest and best-in-class technology,
semiconductor, security and distribution supply chain companies
have partnered with Data I/O to bring the SentriX Platform to
market, including Arrow Electronics, Avnet, IAR Systems, Microchip
Technology, NXP, and Secure Thingz (now a part of IAR Systems).
