September 8, 2016 – Infineon Technologies and Mocana Corporation announced integrated support for the Infineon OPTIGA™ TPM (Trusted Platform Module) security controller as a standard feature into its latest Security of Things Platform. Developers who choose Mocana’s platform for smart factories, infrastructure, automotive and other security-critical IoT designs can now integrate hardware protection into their devices.
The Mocana Security of Things Platform secures manifold aspects of connected devices through a collection of services such as pre-boot verification, certificate management, cryptographic engines, secured data transport and secured firmware updates. The platform with integrated support for the OPTIGA TPM family will be available in Q4 2016.
OPTIGA TPMs are standalone security controllers based on the international standards of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). TPMs protect integrity and authenticity of embedded systems by implementing advanced cryptographic algorithms in hardware. A TPM can be thought of as a “safe” within the system as it is capable of resisting both logical and physical attacks.
