Embedded security software specialist Cellnetrix
offers software for sensor network SoCs using Cortus APS processors.
Hamburg,
Germany and Montpellier France, 16th November 2015. Cellnetrix, a specialist in secure embedded software, and Cortus, a technology leader in low power, silicon
efficient, 32-bit processor IP, announce that the CellSIM secure embedded
operating system will be available for Cortus 32-bit APS processor IP cores.
CellSIM, already widely deployed in securing SIM/USIMs for telecommunications, will
enable the developers of systems-on-chip (SoCs) for IoT and M2M to secure their
communication protocols and to securely update their firmware over the network.
“Cortus APS processor cores have been proven in a wide range of IC
designs involving sensors, communications and security”, says Vladimir Nagin, CEO
of Cellnetrix, “These are the three key ingredients to the new generation of end-point
devices for IoT or M2M”.
“We are very pleased to work with
Cellnetrix on embedded security”, says Michael Chapman, CEO and President of
Cortus, “Their secure OS providing secure ways of updating embedded firmware as
well as securing communication protocols is a key capability for emerging smart
applications and complementary to our experience in securing hardware”.
For connected SoCs with higher demands for security, Cellnetrix CellSIM
provides a secure mechanism for the remote updating of firmware. Such updates neither
affect previously downloaded applications nor their data. In addition it
implements a miniature Java virtual machine, which can run on small
power-constrained devices such as IoT edge devices, smart cards and wireless sensors.
The Cortus family of APS processors offers a wide choice of
computational performance and system complexity for SoCs in IoT, M2M and smart
sensor applications. In addition to processor IP, Cortus offers a wide choice
of peripherals and SW development tools. To date well over 800 million devices
have been manufactured containing Cortus processor cores.
Cellnetrix will be exhibiting at CARTES SECURE CONNEXIONS 2015 from 17th-19th
November at Paris Nord Villepinte on stand 4 H 098.
