Secure MCUs
To protect against security threats, there is increasing demand from OEMs for secure MCUs. And when security features are implemented in the hardware from the outset, it reduces the time, complexity and resource pressure on developers and offers a more robust solution.
The MCU needs to provide a complete chain of security on the device with embedded keys and certificates that will verify firmware updates before they are installed. Trusted and standard zones within the hardware isolate secure functions and protect the data. Capabilities include secure boot process, built-in security hardware-based root of trust, true random number generation functionality, and user application code authentication.
