Beyond launches 32bit secure processor core
All the code and data belonging to a secure context is isolated cryptographically in main memory. Cryptographic operations can be performed with single Keccak (SHA3) core or by combination of cryptographic hash primitives (SHA3 or SHA2) and symmetric ciphers.
The Geon is based on the BA22 and performance is in line with the BA22-CE and has been verified at system level. The development was done in collaboration with Rubicon Labs Inc. (San Francisco, Calif.) and includes access to Rubicon’s cloud-based device identity and security platform with Beyond Semiconductor’s processor competence.
The core is intended to provide security and identity for IoT, industrial IoT and data center ecosystems.

The Geon secure execution processor has been verified using Rubicon’s Zero Knowledge Identity Platform. This partnership allows Beyond to license select Rubicon Labs patents focused on security and authentication.
“Processors with strong security are few and far between,” said Richard Egan, CEO of Rubicon Labs, in a statement issued by Beyond Semiconductor. “Geon provides a strong bulwark against the cyber threats we are witnessing today and is a welcome compliment to Rubicon’s Zero Knowledge Identity Platform.”
