Trust anchors are essential for enabling connected applications and smart services… Infineon's Optiga Trust M enhances device security and improves system performance.

From robotic arms to smart air conditioners, hardware-based trust anchors are essential for fully implementing connected applications and smart services.

Trust anchors not only provide encryption capabilities, but can also securely store confidential information such as encryption keys and certificates.

Infineon Technologies AG announced on the 26th that its new OPTIGA Trust M solution can enhance device security while improving overall system performance.

With the rise of cloud connectivity and AI-based applications, zero-touch provisioning, which enables devices to quickly connect to networks or the cloud, is gaining popularity.

The Optiga Trust M solution securely stores unique device credentials and connects devices to the cloud 10x faster than software solutions. Therefore, it is suitable for use in industrial automation, building automation, smart homes, and home appliances.

Infineon's secure factory can supply OptiTrust M with critical information such as certificates or key pairs used to identify devices.

This turnkey setup, along with a cryptographic toolbox, a secure I2C interface, and open source code available on GitHub, can help accelerate the design, integration, and deployment of embedded systems.

Additionally, the Optiga Trust M has achieved CC EAL6+ (high) certification and supports advanced asymmetric cryptography. It has a 20-year lifespan and can be securely updated in the field.

The Optiga product family enhances the overall security of embedded systems such as IoT end nodes, edge gateways, and cloud servers by combining software with hardware security controllers.

It can be used for a variety of purposes, from basic device authentication to Java card-based programmable elements.

The Optiga Trust M Series is now available. An evaluation kit is also available to help you integrate your security solution.
