Let's explore some of the exceptional security offerings that Secure Vault brings to the table:
 Secure Key Management Safeguarding Your Secrets At the heart of Secure Vault™ lies a cutting-edge Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) that generates a unique digital fingerprint each time the chip boots up. This critical feature ensures that secret keys remain confidential and impervious to invasive attacks. |
 Anti-Rollback Prevention Ensuring Firmware Integrity Secure Boot technology within Secure Vault™ effectively thwarts roll-back attacks, preventing cybercriminals from forcing the MCU to revert to a previous version with known vulnerabilities. |
 Anti-Tamper Defending Against Physical Attacks Tamper attacks represent significant threats to the security of IoT devices. With Secure Vault's Anti-Tamper solutions, you will gain fast hardware detection of external tamper signals. |
 Secure Debug Enhanced Failure Analysis Debug access can be a potential security vulnerability. Secure Vault™ addresses this concern by allowing you to lock or disable debug access, preventing unauthorized intrusion while still enabling streamlined failure analysis through the secure debug unlock feature. |
 Secure Link Encryption and Key Exchange Secure communication is paramount for IoT devices. Secure Link provides robust encryption for interfaces between microcontrollers and host MCUs, ensuring that communication remains protected against potential man-in-the-middle attacks. |
 Secure Boot with RTSL A Multi-stage Bootloader Secure Boot with Root of Trust and Secure Loader (RTSL) delivers a comprehensive chain of trust process, employing a multi-stage bootloader with authentication. This advanced implementation ensures authenticity at each stage. |
 Secure Attestation Non-Clonable Identification Counterfeit devices pose a significant threat to IoT ecosystems. Secure Attestation allows you to establish a secure identity for your IoT devices, preventing counterfeit products from infiltrating your network and safeguarding your brand reputation. |
 Differential Power Analysis (DPA) Countermeasures Make DPA Attacks More Difficult to Execute Secure Vault™ incorporates advanced countermeasures to mitigate DPA attacks, protecting against side-channel attacks that attempt to derive secret keys through electromagnetic radiation. |
 True Random Number Generator (TRNG) Unbiased Cryptography Ensuring the integrity of cryptographic algorithms and key generation is paramount. Secure Vault's TRNG meets the most stringent security requirements, providing truly random and secure numbers. |
