Securing embedded systems using the PSoC 64
Summary
The result is connected systems that are poorly protected and are low-hanging fruit for theft of intellectual property, along with device and user data. To assist in this, the PSoC 64 provides a wide range of software that allows developers to quickly build a secure application. For example, the CySecureTools provides developers with a toolset for creating keys and certificates, as well as tools for signing user applications and provisioning Cypress microcontrollers. The first example that developers would be interested in is the ‘Hello World’ application that transmits MQTT messages from the PSoC 64 to the AWS cloud. It provides all the necessary information to get a baseline application running that can then be modified for specific product purposes Developers that follow these ‘tips and tricks’ will find that they save quite a bit of time and grief.
