Trust Platform Design Suite Accelerates Embedded Security Implementations While Adding Ecosystem for Third Party Contributions

— In 2019, Microchip Technology released its Trust Platform for its CryptoAuthentication™ family, bringing the industry’s first pre-provisioned solutions for hardware-based secure elements to companies of all sizes that want an easy way to implement secure authentication. Today, the company is further enhancing this service with the latest enhancements to its Trust Platform Design Suite (TPDS) — its dedicated software platform for device configuration and onboarding to Microchip secure provisioning services for embedded security.

TPDS version 2 (v2) software now enables Microchip partners to add use cases to its rich security solutions onboarding ecosystem, further expanding developers’ already broad options for implementing best-in-class security. It also now includes support for additional security solutions such as the TA100, the first cryptographic companion device for the automotive market.

Streamlining Development

It can take an experienced firmware engineer months to specify an application’s threat model and develop a security use case that encompasses all necessary measures related to secure authentication, secure boot, IP protection, and more. The two main challenges are configuring the device’s security boundaries and provisioning secrets including private keys as well as symmetric secrets and other forms of secret data.

The TPDS software simplifies this process by providing pre-defined use cases addressing the most common market requirements. It is available with two of the three Trust Platform flows – Trust&GO and TrustFLEX. These programs enable new secure projects to be prototyped in a matter of minutes with TPDS v2, while giving customers options based on the size of their deployment, use case requirements, and how much customization they need:

  • Trust&GO -- Devices are pre-defined and pre-provisioned, off-the-shelf, for secure cloud authentication in both TLS-based and LoRaWAN-based networks, with a Minimum Orderable Quantity (MOQ) of just ten units.
  • TrustFLEX -- Customers can use this program’s pre-configured devices either with default generic certificates or their own credentials (Custom PKI), while benefitting from an even broader range of predefined uses cases than are available with the Trust&GO program.

To address the most demanding use cases, Microchip’s TrustCUSTOM family gives customers the freedom to fully define the secure authentication configuration and fully customize secure key storage.

With its fully integrated onboarding flow, the TPDS v2 software allows a customer to select a security solution, validate its use case, prototype it, and then start the process of secure provisioning, all in a few simple steps.

“Our TPDS v2 software makes it easy for developers to comply with existing standards and upcoming regulations for embedded system security by making security best practices an integral piece of an intuitive and streamlined process,” said Nuri Dagdeviren, vice president of Microchip’s secure products business unit. “We will continue helping our customers accelerate time-to-market and win long-term business through reliable hardware and secure solutions. TPDS will also support onboarding and provisioning services for Microchip security solutions beyond secure elements.”  

Third-Party Integration

One of the biggest advantages of TPDS v2 is that it enables third-party partners to add their own use cases to improve customer options for secure element onboarding and security features. Among Microchip’s partners is EBV Elektronik (Avnet Group). EBV Elektronik enables TPDS v2 users to connect to the Avnet IoTConnect Cloud quickly and securely through the ATECC608B TrustFlex configuration using the EBV-IoT “Secure Shield” evaluation kit. More information available here.

“We have a strong relationship with Microchip and are very excited to be part of the Trust Platform Design Suite v2 initiative that makes scalable security available for all customers, on both the silicon and cloud side,” said Antonio Fernandez, vice president of technical development at EBV Elektronik. “Embracing best practices is an essential step in achieving our mutual goal of offering all customers the best security platform available. We believe the TPDS enhancements provide one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways for us to continue our leadership role in helping customers deploy best-in-class solutions.”

How the Software Works

The Trust Platform Design Suite v2 allow users to:

  • Onboard with security through training videos and interactive application notes spanning a variety of use cases.
  • Develop their applications based on the selected use cases, finalize the security solution configuration, and perform the secret key exchange.
  • Procure verification samples and start production.

Development Tools

The Trust Platform Design Suite is supported on Windows and macOS environments. The TA100 configurator is only available for the Windows platform.

Pricing and Availability

Microchip’s open-source Trust Platform Design Suite is available for download on Microchip’s website at no cost for Trust&GO and TrustFLEX flows. The site also allows access to training videos, interactive application notes, C code and other project support. TrustCUSTOM software extensions for TPDS are available under NDA and can be purchased through Microchip’s purchasing portal at $20.00 each.

PRCI Hyderabad Chapter Organizes A Webinar The Changing Media Consumption in a Distracted Digital World

PRCI Hyderabad Chapter Organizes A Webinar

“Dea(r)th of Depth? The Changing Media Consumption in a Distracted Digital World!”

Hyderabad, 15th May 2021: Public Relations Council of India (PRCI), Hyderabad Chapter organized its first webinar today on the topic: “Dea(r)th of Depth? The Changing Media Consumption in a Distracted Digital World!” as part of the National Talent Hunt Series launched by the Governing Council of PRCI.  Ms. Anindita Sinha, Chairperson, PRCI Hyderabad Chapter presented the session before the jury and audience. The webinar was addressed by Mr. Niranjan Pagadala, PRCI Member, Hyderabad Chapter, and a Social Media Expert, and Ms. Fronia Priscilla, YCC Member, Hyderabad Chapter, and a freelance media professional. Mr. Ravindran Kesavan, National Vice President, PRCI laid down the rules and regulations for the webinar.

Mr. MB Jayaram, Chief Mentor & Chairman Emeritus, PRCI; Mr. T. Vinay Kumar, National President, PRCI; members of jury; Directors and members of the PRCI Governing Council along with members from the Young Communicators Club (YCC), Hyderabad Chapter; other National & Zonal Council members and other Chapter members across the country and abroad including Canada and Nepal participated in this interesting webinar. Over 100 participants logged in for this webinar, which was moderated by Mr. Prashant Kumar, PRCI Member, Hyderabad Chapter. Mr. Jacob Ross, PRO, provided overall communications support to this webinar. 8Views agency provided branding and digital support for this event.

In her opening speech, Ms. Anindita Sinha, Chairperson, PRCI Hyderabad Chapter, said, during this fast-changing world, production and consumption of news must be backed by a lot of responsibilities, and the fast track digitally distracted world gives all communications professionals an opportunity to keep the stands of news and information backed by the robust ethical sense of journalism.

Mr. Niranjan Pragadala took up the issue of attention deficit in today’s world. He elaborated upon how today, people’s average attention span has come down to eight seconds. He referred to a survey analysis, which showed that there was a sharp decline in newspaper readership among the younger generations. The survey also captured how the short content that we see on social platforms viz. Instagram or In Shorts have received increasing demand. He emphasized the fact that in this scenario, the information that we get is losing its depth. However, to fight that out, as a solution, news media houses like The Hindu have come up with online subscriptions that give access to more in-depth information. YouTube offers short, as well as long content, while the latter helps generate more attention and revenue.

Speaking on this topic, Ms. Fronia Priscilla highlighted the fact that while the attention span might have reduced and consumption of news becoming as fast-paced as instant noodles, much depends on our requirements and our need to consume any news. She consolidated her speech into 4 main points: Too much information, credibility, people's superficial virtual presence, and the topic of sensationalism. She focused on points related to lack of credibility, false virtual presentation, and sensationalism. She also mentioned that these days people don't even know what they keep on scrolling through social media platforms. She also made a point that sometimes we need short ways to fix things when we lack time. Answering a question on social media’s future, she said, social media is here to stay and more than entertainment it is also offering a great way to explore open journalism with the concept of citizen journalism being re-invented.

Both Mr. Niranjan and Ms. Priscilla cited various examples and data to support their opinions, opening up a whole new vista to the way the media world has exploded during this hyper-connected digital world. The webinar was dotted with a flurry of questions, which were well handled by the young speakers. The participants felt engaged and had their own takeaways at the end of the webinar.

At the end of the webinar, Ms. Anindita Sinha imparted the vote of thanks and concluded the session.
