TrustFLEX ATECC608 Secure Element for TLS-Based Networks

View All Parametrics

Leverage the Simplicity of Thumbprint Certificate Authentication

The vast majority of networks mandate Transport Layer Security (TLS), which relies on certificate-based authentication. Whether you are using a public cloud or a private cloud, the trust in the device identity will depend entirely on how well the device’s private key is protected. If the private key is spoofed, the device can be impersonated by an unauthorized user who can then control the device’s transactions. The TLS stack is good for managing the key agreement and the encryption. However, implementing secure authentication presents you with several challenges: securely storing the private key in the device, shipping the private key across the globe for any project and system size, and creating a possibly cost-prohibitive, weak and hard-to-scale manufacturing flow. These challenges can be addressed by using the TrustFLEX ATECC608C-TFLXTLS secure element from our Trust Platform family with TLS stack providers. This solution also provides you with the flexibility to choose your own certificate authority in addition to leveraging the integrated authentication use cases in the same secure element.
