Infineon has introduced a Qi 1.3 certified automotive wireless charging security chip, reducing customers' investment costs in security infrastructure.

Infineon Technologies AG (Korea CEO Seungsoo Lee) recently announced the launch of its OPTIGA™ Trust Charge automotive product, a security solution for in-vehicle wireless charging.

This product meets the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) Qi standard 1.3, which requires strong encryption authentication for wireless charging up to 15W.

The Qi standard is an interface standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), which consists of over 200 member companies.

OPTIGA Trust Charge automotive products are embedded security solutions that include provisioning and decommissioning services defined by WPC and cryptographic functions defined in Qi 1.3, such as ECDSA, NIST-P256, and SHA-256.

This solution plays a key role in the development of wireless charging for vehicles and achieves the highest level of security.

It is also AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified and supports field updates and up to four certificate chains.

OPTIGA Trust Charge automotive products enable wireless charger manufacturers and system manufacturers to quickly develop products that comply with the latest Qi security requirements.br />
Comprehensive turnkey solutions include embedded software, development boards, reference boards, and complete documentation, reducing development time and accelerating time to market.

Host software is also provided for easy integration with automotive microcontrollers such as AURIX™ or Traveo™ II.

Moreover, customers do not need to invest in security infrastructure as the WPC-specific private keys and certificates are pre-installed in the secure Infineon fab.
