MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and LONDON, Sept. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Highlights:
- DesignWare tRoot HSM IP with Root of Trust provides designers with a Trusted Execution Environment that protects sensitive
information and data processing
- New DesignWare tRoot HSM IP for iSIM integrates Truphone software to enable secure, over-the-air remote provisioning and
operating system updates
- GSMA-accredited Truphone Io3 Platform offers device makers and network operators complete control over the lifecycle of
iSIM-enabled devices
- Migrating from discrete SIM cards to an embedded iSIM solution reduces area, power, and cost
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) and Truphone today announced a collaboration to integrate Truphone's embedded SIM (eUICC)
software into the DesignWare® tRoot™ Hardware Secure Module (HSM) for integrated SIM (iSIM) to protect device
connectivity and management. The new Synopsys tRoot HSM for iSIM reduces the area, power, and cost of Internet of Things (IoT)
devices that require secure, unique identification and authentication. The Truphone Io3 Platform's remote SIM provisioning
service, built to support the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) Embedded SIM Specification, offers a
suite of intelligent systems to manage iSIM-enabled products throughout their lifecycle. Synopsys' tRoot HSM for iSIM, combined
with Truphone's Io3 Platform and SIM technology, provide the necessary hardware, software, and services needed to enable mobile
network operators and product manufacturers to securely connect and manage devices in worldwide cellular networks.
"Truphone's unique SIM technology, which has been integrated into the Synopsys tRoot HSM IP, enables devices to come ready for
cellular connection. Through Truphone's Io3 Platform, devices can be connected to any network in the world—out of the box," said
Steve Alder, chief business development officer at Truphone. "Together, we are enabling an open
ecosystem that removes the cost and complexity of distributing physical SIMs and makes the job of connecting devices much
simpler. For the IoT, this opens up significant opportunities to simplify access to mobile networks and makes the mobile IoT
viable for many new use cases."
"Building secure, cellular connected IoT devices requires SIM hardware that works hand-in-hand with remote provisioning
services to enable secure in-field updates," said John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP
at Synopsys. "Our new DesignWare tRoot HSM for iSIM provides a pre-verified hardware and software solution, including SIM
software from Truphone, that enables cellular connectivity in a consumer or IoT device while protecting the SoC against malicious
attacks."
DesignWare tRoot HSM
The tRoot HSM integrates a DesignWare ARC® SEM110 Security Processor with SecureShield™ technology,
which provides advanced security features to protect against side-channel attacks. The tRoot HSM includes both software- and
hardware-accelerated cryptography options, as well as secure instruction and data memory controllers that provide confidentiality
and authenticity for non-trusted memory accesses. The tRoot HSM's security features are complemented by a NIST-validated
cryptography library and secure boot support. By providing the integrated and configurable tRoot HSM, Synopsys enables SoC
designers to implement an area- and energy-efficient programmable root of trust that protects high-value targets against malware,
tampering, and exploitation of communication protocols.
Truphone Io3 Platform
Truphone's Io3 platform greatly simplifies how devices connect to mobile networks. Its comprehensive and robust coverage
includes multiple network operators for each region and provides access to all network types on demand. Global eSIM and remote
SIM provisioning services enable secure, out-of-the-box mobile connectivity for all devices. Io3 is an open ecosystem providing
bootstrap connectivity and services to enable seamless installation of any mobile operator profile.
Availability and Resources
The DesignWare tRoot HSM for iSIM is scheduled to be available in Q4 2018. Truphone's Io3 remote provisioning services are
available now.
