G+D Mobile Security collaborates with Murata and others

G+D Mobile Security, Murata, and STMicroelectronics have collaborated to implement cost-effective security features for Internet of Things devices.

Sales of this joint solution have begun across various application areas and the enterprise market, enabling the transmission of Low Power Wideband Network (LPWAN) keys in a completely secure manner while guaranteeing the integrity and confidentiality of data exchange.

The number of internet-connected devices is steadily increasing, and many of them are used in various types of essential systems. In the future, non-mobile communication methods such as LoRaWAN™ will play a significant role in core IoT applications.

Non-secure devices connecting to critical systems can become easy targets for manipulation and attacks on these key systems, posing a serious risk not only to applications but also to the entire infrastructure. The new solution released by G+D Mobile Security, Murata, and ST allows for the easy integration of security functions starting from the device manufacturing stage, enabling the addition of value to products and the protection of the IoT ecosystem in an effective and convenient way.

This solution consists of a small, cost-effective LoRaWAN module designed by Murata, ST’s STM32 general-purpose microcontroller embedded within it, the attached STSAFE-A security chip, and a Key Management System provided by G+D based on this chip. This joint solution provides data integrity and confidentiality, as well as complete device security for the LoRaWAN module, easy deployment, and lifecycle management, thereby forming the foundation for a secure LoRaWAN ecosystem. Sales of this solution began as a test product on June 7, 2017.
