Commentary by Spokesperson
Hung-Wei Chen, Director of Winbond Secure Flash Memory Marketing, said: “We believe that non-secure IoT devices pose a severe cyber-threat that must be addressed by securing the flash memory used for the storage of data, code, and credentials in all connected devices. Due to the ever-growing complexity, flash memory density requirements are growing as well, forcing a move to external, larger, secure flash memories that are addressed by Winbond’s TrustME family. We are pleased to have Tiempo Secure work with us to take this a step further, providing a robust and certifiable Secure Element IP and certified secure flash for the age of IoT”
Serge Maginot, CEO and President of Tiempo Secure, said: “We strongly believe that hardware security, embedded into the edge devices, is the best solution to efficiently protect the IoT system against selective or expert attacks. We are particularly excited to extend our security one-stop shop model and secure IP family with Secure Elements that will be including a ready to use and proven secure communication channel to Winbond’s Secure Flash chips, enabling end to end security between application chip and flash memory chip at CC EAL5+ grade. This partnership between Winbond and Tiempo is now empowering IoT developers and users to address the two critical challenges on the road for IoT deployment, i.e., easy connectivity and high level of security.”
