Elevating IoT Security with VaultIC292:
Designed for cost-effectiveness and seamless integration, VaultIC292 functions as a fortified microcontroller, primed to endow devices with a robust, secure identity. This identity is key for IoT applications such as Smart Home Devices or field sensors. It allows the establishment of a trusted connection to clouds or local networks via the TLS protocol, ensuring impeccable device authentication.
SEALSQ’s Unique Value:
With a focus on flexibility and adaptability, SEALSQ’s secure element can be pre-provisioned, whether factory-set, over-the-air, at wafer level, or on-package. This is complemented with private keys and X509 certificates, compatible with protocols like MATTER, Wi-SUN, and OPC. This facilitates authentication and commissioning with platforms like Microsoft AZURE or AWS Clouds.
This innovative offering extends beyond the device’s inception, through SEALSQ’s PKI platform, INeS. INeS empowers device creators with an intuitive interface, allowing for the generation and management of compliant certificates throughout the device’s lifecycle.
SEALSQ’s VaultIC292 is built on a proven proprietary CCEAL4+ level Tamper Resistant hardware platform which has been the bedrock for securing sensitive applications like National IDs, e-Passports, Banking, and more. Featuring a streamlined design, the platform emphasizes optimal efficiency and minimalistic external components.
Gweltas Radenac, IoT Business Unit Director, stated, “Our vision is to empower IoT developers by offering them this all-encompassing, cost-effective, and efficient secure element. We want them to concentrate on their core applications, ensuring a swift time-to-market and economical project implementation.”
General Manager, Bernard Vian, added, “VaultIC292’s launch marks a pivotal moment in creating inherently secure IoT devices and sensors. It embodies our aspiration to pave the way for a more secure digital world.”
