In the Internet of Things industry, many systems integrators and application developers are facing obstacles when developing and testing security solutions in their applications. Due to IoT market fragmentation, the personalisation of a small volume of Secure Elements can be challenging for an industry used to deal with billions of devices in a consolidated market.

To solve this issue and allow application developers to be totally reactive to market demands Trusted Objects is introducing its personalisation tool kit that allows systems integrators to effortlessly personalise Secure Elements in order to easily set up a Proof of Concept whenever they want to address new markets, develop new applications, or simply test new features.

Trusted Objects personalisation tool kit includes hardware equipment dedicated to initialising and personalising small quantities of Secure Elements. The kit is delivered with user-friendly software that allows application developers to start personalising their Secure Elements with just three clicks, and an installation guide. Security is a very serious matter at Trusted Objects, so while the tool kit usage is limited to downloading standardised test keys within the Secure Elements; it has to be operated in a secure environment compliant with Trusted Objects security guidelines.

When the application developers are ready to evolve from the POC to real-size applications, Trusted Objects and its partners propose their services to adapt personalisation procedures to large batches of Secure Elements with diversified keys, generated under secure conditions in a certified secure environment. Trusted Objects personalisation tool kit will be available from January 2018 onwards.

Sami Anbouba, CEO of Trusted Objects, declares: “As security is now on top of the agenda of the IoT market, our aim is to facilitate the adoption of Secure Elements for end-to-end solutions. With our personalisation tool kit, application developers can start their POC within a very short time frame, and then, get our dedicated support when switching to a real life secure application.”

Trusted Objects will be exhibiting at Trustech, a major event for the secure transactions industry, taking place in Cannes, France, on November 28 – 30, 2017. Come and visit us on booth Lerins C 006.
