When it comes to embedded devices, security has always been a big topic of interest. Unfortunately, up until now, much of the attention has been for the wrong reasons. Insecure edge computing and IoT devices have become notorious examples of how the weakest (and often overlooked) link in the chain can lead to big security breaches.
Thankfully, there are now important new options for ensuring that critical features such as hardware root-of-trust, integrated cryptography, firmware resiliency and m...

On August 13, 2024, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released the eagerly awaited Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards. These standards introduce three new encryption algorithms designed to secure systems against both classical and future quantum computer attacks, providing a necessary evolution from RSA and ECC asymmetric encryption algorithms. In this blog, we outline the impact of these standards and the essential steps for system designers to transition to PQ...
