Guenter Schlatte, vice president and general manager, secure identity at NXP, said, “As a response to the growing number of security attacks we constantly innovate to stay ahead of hackers to provide top end security products to our customers. Our collaboration with Intrinsic-ID and its ground-breaking solution allows us to stay in the forefront of security for eGovernment products, conditional access management systems for Pay TV and authentication solutions for electronic devices and peripherals.” Hardware security is crucial to preventing security breaches, and a new approach to secure key storage must be adopted. HIS combines the advantages of existing approaches by extracting the secret key from the hardware instead of storing it. This approach allows a device to generate a secret key only when needed and power down with no key present. Because no key is stored, attackers have nothing to find. Quiddikey is based on patented technologies and industrialized through extensive R&D efforts. This solution uses a unique ID that is intrinsic to each and every device, using only standard components. Quiddikey provides cost-effective key storage to secure semiconductor products against today’s common security breaches. www.intrinsic-id.com www.nxp.com
