Secure IoT modules & security services promise device-to-cloud IoT protection
With the ARTIK secure “s” systems-on-modules and services for the ARTIK IoT Platform, Samsung aims strengthen edge security. The ARTIK IoT platform now offers device-to-cloud security for companies to build, develop and manage secure, interoperable, and intelligent IoT products and services. Samsung has announced that the platform will fully integrate with the SmartThings Cloud — the company’s unified IoT platform. This will enable interoperability with both Samsung and third-party IoT devices and IoT cloud services.
The platform, with the SmartThings Cloud, aims to provide everything companies need to develop secure IoT products and services including production-ready hardware, software and tools, cloud services and a partner ecosystem. The addition of secure IoT modules enables device-level protection for safe data exchange, interoperability, and secure access to ARTIK IoT services including device onboarding, orchestration, management, and over-the-air updates.
The ARTIK secure IoT modules combine hardware-backed security with pre-integrated memory, processing, and connectivity for a broad range of IoT applications, from simple edge nodes such as sensors and controllers, to home appliances, healthcare monitors, and gateways for smart factories. This helps protect data and prevent devices from being taken over, disabled, or used maliciously.
The secure IoT modules provide a strong root of trust from device-to-cloud with a factory-injected unique ID and keys stored in tamper-resistant hardware. Samsung’s public key infrastructure (PKI) enables mutual authentication to the cloud to identify each device on the network and support whitelisting. Designers can use the Secure Boot feature and code signing portal to validate software authenticity on start-up. In addition, the secure IoT modules provide a hardware-protected Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) with a secure operating system and security library to process, store, and manage sensitive resources, including keys and tokens on devices. Information is protected using FIPS 140-2 data encryption and secure data storage.
ARTIK “s” secure IoT modules will be available on November 30th 2017 through Samsung ARTIK distributors. The IoT Platform and cloud services are available immediately.
