Microchip’s PIC32CK 32-bit MCUs simplify embedded security
Summary
The HSM can accelerate a wide range of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography standards, true random number generation, and secure key management. For increased flexibility and cost efficiency, the PIC32CK MCU family offers a wide range of options to tune the level of security, memory, and connectivity bandwidth based on the end application’s requirements. The PIC32CK makes it cost effective to provide hardware-based security to mid-range microcontroller applications,” said Rod Drake, Corporate Vice President of Microchip’s MCU32 and MPU32 business units. “Microchip’s ecosystem of tools and security expertise help our customers navigate the complexities of the new requirements and provide lifecycle support for their products.” For product supply chains that require additional security and safety protection such as in industrial designs, medical devices, home appliances, and consumer IoT devices, the PIC32CK will be supported with Microchip’s Trust Platform Design Suite for provisioning as a service. This platform enables the secure factory provisioning of keys, certificates, and IP without the need to reveal these secrets within the supply chain.
