PSoC secure MCUs for IoT

Author: EIS Release Date: Oct 12, 2020


Infineon is shipping Cypress PSoC 64 Secure MCUs with Trusted Firmware-M embedded security, the Arm Mbed IoT OS, and the Arm Pelion IoT platform to securely design, manage, and update IoT products without the need for custom security firmware.

The Pelion-Ready and Mbed OS-Enabled solution demonstrates industry best practices for security, by reaching PSA Certified Level 1.

“Dozens of studies have shown that a major barrier to consumer adoption of IoT products stems from concerns over privacy and security,” says Infineon’s  Vikram Gupta.

Implementing Trusted Firmware-M with PSoC 64 significantly simplifies device security implementation. The open-source software delivers configurable components that enable PSA Functional APIs and create a ‘Secure Processing Environment’ (SPE) for Arm Cortex-M-based microcontrollers. The PSoC 64 root of trust makes it easier for IoT device makers to achieve PSA Certified for their end products.

The Pelion Device Management offers secured device management at every product lifecycle stage, from provisioning to decommissioning. It incorporates a dual-core architecture, with an Arm Cortex-M4 core to run applications and an Arm Cortex-M0+ core used as a security coprocessor with a pre-configured root-of-trust.

PSoC 64 is part of the IoT-AdvantEdge solution: a comprehensive set of building blocks that enables IoT products to get to market faster and more cost effectively. IoT-AdvantEdge simplifies the design experience by delivering unfailing connectivity combined with security and local processing in an integrated solution.

The PSoC 64 Secure Boot Wi-Fi/BT Pioneer Kit (CY8CKIT-064B0S2-4343W) is ready for order here.
