Infineon Technologies OPTIGA Trust X is a hardware-based security solution that provides robust security to the diverse applications in the Internet of Things, ranging from smart homes to drones. The plug-and-play solution offers secured communication and software updates, mutual authentication, and much more.
Hardware-based security provides the necessary protection against attackers, as critical data can be separated from operations. It can be used to protect products against unauthorized access from the cloud down to device level. In areas wherein sensitive data must be protected, the control unit must be authenticated reliably and attacks be repelled, and the OPTIGA Trust X delivers efficient protection against attackers and serves as a trust anchor.
The solution comprises the chip, the operating system, the applications, software and device drivers, and an evaluation kit. The OPTIGA Trust X can be used in temperatures from –25°C to 85°C and in an extended range from –40°C to 105°C. It is, therefore, also suitable for deployment in harsh industrial environments.
