This platform makes it easy to create and connect IoT devices that comply with supported cyber protection standards.

Arrow Electronics has introduced the PSoC™ XNUMX IoT Security Workshop Development Kit, a PSA Certified platform that helps speed the development of secure systems through the trusted PSA Certified methodology.

The kit is Arrow's first PSA Certified product and has been developed in conjunction with Infineon. IoT device developers can take advantage of this platform to align with supported industry and government standards for electronic security, thereby helping to ensure compliance with emerging Internet of Things legislation, including NIST rules. 8259A and EN three hundred three six hundred forty-five. The kit has been tested by SGS Brightsight, the independent safety assessment laboratory, and is PSA Certified Level 1.

The kit helps developers to quickly start their projects. Includes Infineon PSoC™ 2 Secure AWS IoT Pioneer Kit, Arrow PSoC™ XNUMX IoT Sensor Shield, ShieldXNUMXGo kits, and AWS Cloud enablement with certified functional APIs and integrated dashboard for monitoring and visualization. The PSoC™ XNUMX Silicon PSA Certified level two offers a Root of Trust (RoT) that is the foundation for trusted services such as cryptography and secure storage. The development kit is a previously tested and proven reference design that is built with sensor-to-cloud security in mind for end-to-end security purposes.

In addition to this, as the first PSA Certified platform to use Amazon FreeRTOS, the PSoC™ XNUMX IoT Security Workshop Development Kit makes it easy to program, deploy, and manage IoT devices, as well as making it easy to connect securely to services. AWS Cloud for edge.

The methodology provided by PSA Certified, coupled with Arrow's end-to-end support, helps minimize risks for developers, reduce costs and speed time to market, including end-product security certification. The PSA Certified approach was co-founded by Arm and represents security goals that help ensure consistent cyber protection across the entire device lifecycle.

Developers using the kit will be assured that their devices meet the ten security objectives of PSA Certified, for example, that the devices are uniquely recognizable and securely certifiable, that only run authorized software or support for isolation and secure upgrade while preventing unauthorized rollback. The approach also encourages interaction, which facilitates security state monitoring and awareness, such as limiting the SPE (secure processing environment) to a minimal set of trusted services. Users can be confident that they will have met all of these challenges, while taking advantage of the PSoC™ XNUMX RoT and TF-M (Trusted Firmware-M) for Arm® Cortex-M® processors.

"Industry cooperation and standardization is vital to securing the future of the IoT," said David Maidment, senior manager of the secure device ecosystem at Arm. “Arrow is leading the way in developing PSA Certified designs that device manufacturers can use to embed security into final products, allowing security to be adopted at scale and reducing the barriers and costs associated with good security practices. security".

"We like that Arrow Electronics has chosen Infineon's PSA Certified PSoC™ XNUMX Secured MCUs for its PSA Certified development kit,” said Erik Wood, Microcontroller Security Manager at Infineon. "We continue to work closely with Arrow to provide the best possible time-to-market and user experience for their service customers."
