Embedded Security
As the leader for hardware-based security with deep insights into embedded control requirements, Infineon enables customers to build security models based on best-in-class hardware in customized solutions.
Software can be easily analyzed, modified and copied. As a result, software alone can not protect an entire platform in the same way as an embedded security concept. It does not constitute a Root of Trust. Embedded security concepts, in contrast, balance security across software and hardware layers.
The embedded security approach builds a comprehensive Root of Trust in a system. This Root of Trust can protect an entire platform, including software, system services, functionality and devices. Hardware-based security at platform level allows simple and cost-effective integration of security-sensitive software code and significantly increases flexibility in development and design. It also allows you to tailor the security ratings of the product or solution to your needs.
