SecureRF Announces Machine-to-Machine Security Solutions: Microcontroller and Embedded Solutions to Address Authentication and Anti-Counterfeiting
Summary
The resulting protocols, which can provide authentication and data protection functions, are small enough to fit on resource constrained devices such as RFID tags, SmartCards, microcontrollers, and in wireless sensor networks.SecureRF’s LIME Tag™ is a secure, battery-assisted, passive RFID tag, which meets both EPCglobal and ISO standards, with optional sensors that provide cold chain management functionality.“The United States should make strong authentication of identity, based on robust in-person proofing and thorough verification of devices, a mandatory requirement for critical cyber infrastructures (ICT, energy, finance, government services).” The SDK announced by SecureRF today provides all of the necessary tools to address these critical requirements.Solutions developed with SecureM2M can provide:- Usage control to ensure that a device works in the prescribed way.- Anti-cloning to accept only authorized peripherals or components via authentication.- Condition and exception monitoring using sensors.- Secure “on-device” tracking of distribution, warranty work, and maintenance records.The company’s solutions come from SecureRF’s team of leading mathematician/cryptographers who have developed the world’s first linear-in-time cryptography method known as the Algebraic Eraser™.The resulting protocols, which can provide authentication and data protection functions, are small enough to fit on resource constrained devices such as RFID tags, SmartCards, microcontrollers, and in wireless sensor networks.Other areas of interest include aviation, the nation’s power grid, the automotive sector, and consumer electronic devices.SecureRF’s SecureM2M toolkit has the ability to run as software on low resource 8-bit platforms.
