In October 2017, Arm introduced Platform Security Architecture (PSA), a set of hardware, firmware specifications, analysis models an open source firmware reference implementation for a scalable, secure IoT framework. The three initial pillars of analysis (threat and security analysis), architecture specifications for firmware and hardware and an open source implementation, are now joined by a fourth element, PSA Certified for ...

Lights are the most prevalent electrical components in any commercial building, and that makes them the most logical devices for smart building sensors, according to Russ Sharer, vice president of global marketing and business development at Fulham. “In new construction you can plan to use standalone smart building control sensors, but only 8% of commercial space is new construction. However, ...

IoT products and services that have no effective security create business risks which need to be addressed now, warns Justin Lowe. The IoT is proliferating, with around 66% of organisations currently using IoT and an install base of around 17 billion devices. Analyst company Gartner believes spending is due to increase from an estimated $1.5bn in 2018 to over $3bn ...

Maxim is claiming simple route to protecting sensitive data in IoT end-nodes with a pair of security supervisor chips. Called MAX36010 and MAX36011, “these make it easier for designers to implement robust tamper detection, cryptography and secure storage while safeguarding sensitive information via logical and physical protections, without having to be security experts themselves – that can be integrated into a ...

This is the third in a series of essays by Imec on the future of electronics technology. It is called: Future Cities. It is by Jan Adriaenssens, Director City of Things at Imec. It’s all about letterboxes, fashion designers and scooters: the city of the future where you’ll definitely want to live. Living in the city? Very enjoyable, because everything ...

To meet demand for Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) IoT connectivity, Gemalto has announced a platform of Cinterion IoT Modules based on the Qualcomm 9205 LTE IoT modem. The modules are designed to support LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity with optional 2G fallback from a single, ultra-small IoT module. Ready for the latest 3GPP specifications (Rel 14), the platform will be loaded ...

STMicroelectronics has put plenty of analogue features and DMA (direct memory access) into its latest 8bit 8pin microcontroller. Dubbed STM8L050, alongside two comparators, it has four-channel 12bit ADC and a low-power real-time clock (RTC) with programmable alarm and periodic wake-ups. Either external or internal clock at up to 16MHz is supported. There is an integrated DMA controller which, according to ...

CEVA has announced CEVA-BX – an all-purpose, hybrid DSP / Controller architecture to address algorithms of digital signal processing in voice, video, communication, sensing and digital signal control applications. Offering general purpose DSP capabilities required for motor control and electrification, the CEVA-BX architecture extends CEVA’s market reach into the automotive and industrial markets currently underserved by legacy DSPs or MPU/MCUs ...
