As the benefits of IoT devices grow, so does the importance of security
throughout the network that spans from cloud, servers and hubs to the
individual connected devices. With both hardware and software support
for the security requirements in today's IoT devices, Samsung's SE
solution will help chip manufacturers to easily employ reliable security
features, and bring innovative products ad services to market faster.
At the hardware level, Samsung's SE will stop and reset itself the
moment it detects abnormal activity, thus protecting the sensitive data
stored within the security IC (integrated circuit). The SE adopts
embedded flash (eFlash) for the first time in the industry at the
45-nanometer (nm) process node, which brings faster data processing and
more flexible software modifications compared to traditional EEPROMs
(electrically erasable programmable read-only memory).
Samsung's dedicated software for the SE supports various tasks such as
personal verification, security key storage, and encoding and decoding.
This software also allows key and authentication information to be
safely transferred between devices, servers and clouds.
"Securing personal information stored on electronic devices and in the
cloud is a top priority," said Ben K. Hur, Vice President of System LSI
marketing at Samsung Electronics. "Samsung's Secure Element solution is
another demonstration of our advanced security technology that has been
proven through mobile application processors (AP), smart card ICs and
other semiconductor products. We believe that applications for Samsung's
SE solution will continue to diversify along with the vastly expanding
IoT industry."
The SE and developer board are on display at the Samsung Developer
Conference on October 18 and 19, 2017, in San Francisco, USA.
