InfoSec Global and Synopsys Team Up to Deliver Root of Trust Solution

By Ken Briodagh May 03, 2017

InfoSec Global (ISG) and Synopsys recently announced a new collaboration with the goal of introducing a comprehensive, embedded Root of Trust solution that integrates InfoSec Global's Agile Cryptography capabilities with Synopsys' DesignWare tRoot Hardware Secure Module.

The combined solution will be designed to provide coders with the programming interfaces needed to customize and differentiate system-on-chips (SoCs) for highly secure industrial IoT applications such as programmable logic controllers, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Distributive Control Systems (DCS).

“By collaborating with Synopsys, we are giving both the semiconductor industry and governments the cryptography platform they are demanding, with the level of data protection required in a changing security landscape,” said Claire Trimble, CMO, InfoSec Global. “We are enabling a hardware-secured Root of Trust at every stage of the industrial ecosystem to help developers secure their high-value IoT environments.”

To build a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), the Industrial IoT (IIoT) supply chain is using platforms comprising various security IP components that must be integrated during system development using fixed encryption schemes, the release said. These implementations limit the ability to securely update a system to address evolving threats. Together, InfoSec and Synopsys hope to enable designers to build a TEE by providing a complete hardware secure module with Root of Trust and flexible encryption capabilities to protect devices against future threats and vulnerabilities in the field.

“With the number of security vulnerabilities rapidly growing in connected IoT devices, there is an increased need for hardware Root of Trust implementations,” said John Koeter, VP, Marketing for IP, Synopsys. “The collaboration between Synopsys and InfoSec Global provides agile encryption capabilities in a secure Root of Trust hardware module to help designers quickly make in-field updates to their devices with minimal effort.”
