Trusted Objects, a security expert for the Internet of Things (IoT), in partnership with Avnet Silica and UbiquiOS technology, have announced the availability of its secure TLS solution,allowing end-to-end sensor-to-server security to billions of sensors regardless whether they support the IP (Internet Protocol) or not.

Now IoT developers are, say the partners, able to benefit from a solution bringing a hardware-based proven high level of security to objects with limited computing resources and constrained battery power to establish trust in the IoT world.

Trusted Objects’ solution builds upon the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, widely adopted on the Internet, to bring easy-to-implement security functions to the Internet of Things (IoT).

This way, developers can, from the server side, authenticate securely any remote object and establish session keys with the object in order to communicate in an encrypted manner.

Sami Anbouba, CEO of Trusted Objects, said: “Our hardware-based secure implementation of the TLS protocol, specially optimised for the Internet of Things, brings developers an easy to implement yet strong end-to-end security protocol to vast networks of sensors with limited resources.”

Trusted Objects secure TLS solution can be used in two different ways: 

This secure solution in accordance with the TLS 1.2 specification includes:

With Trusted Objects TO136 Secure Element support, developers using the UbiquiOS stack will be able to interface wirelessly to IoT devices with additional protection against a rogue or malicious device compromising the security of their system, network or data.

Trusted Objects will present its hardware-based security solutions for the Internet of Things during the IoT Asia exhibition and conference, on AVNET booth C02. The event takes place in Singapore, on March 29 – 30, 2017.
