Integration of keySTREAM with ECC608 TrustMANAGER simplifies secure
provisioning and lifecycle management and sets a new standard in device
security and management

CHESEAUX-SUR-LAUSANNE, Switzerland, and PHOENIX, AZ, USA, April 2 2024 -
Kudelski IoT, a division of the Kudelski Group (SIX: KUD.S), and Microchip
Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP), today announced the integration of Kudelski
IoT's keySTREAM with Microchip's ECC608 security ICs and TrustMANAGER. This
strategic partnership marks a significant advancement in IoT device
security, enabling dynamic, cloud-based provisioning and lifecycle
management directly in the field. This avoids the complexities associated
with in-factory provisioning and the risks associated with transporting key
material throughout the value chain.

The integration of the ECC608 TrustMANAGER with Kudelski IoT's keySTREAM
platform provides a comprehensive solution for secure, scalable, and
efficient device management. It facilitates the creation and management of a
dynamic certificate chain, allowing devices to be provisioned and managed
securely throughout their lifecycle. This approach not only streamlines the
manufacturing process but also meets the increasing demands for security in
the IoT space.

Frédéric Thomas, CTO of Kudelski IoT, emphasized the importance of the
collaboration: "As IoT devices become more embedded in our everyday lives
and critical industries, the need for robust security solutions has never
been greater. Our partnership with Microchip Technology and the integration
of keySTREAM with their ECC608 TrustMANAGER is a significant milestone. It
not only advances our mission to secure the IoT ecosystem but also
simplifies the provisioning and management of IoT devices, making security
accessible to all."

The ECC608 TrustMANAGER, enhanced by Kudelski IoT's keySTREAM, enables users
to set up their own root Certificate Authority (CA) and manage public key
infrastructure (PKI) securely and efficiently. Devices can be activated and
managed in the field without the need for supply chain customization,
ensuring compliance with evolving security standards and regulations.

"As the IoT landscape evolves, so does the complexity of securing it. Our
collaboration with Kudelski IoT through the integration of their keySTREAM
technology with our ECC608 TrustMANAGER is a testament to our commitment to
not just meet, but exceed, the security needs of today's and tomorrow's IoT
ecosystems," said Nuri Dagdeviren, Corporate Vice President of Microchip's
Secure Products Group. "This partnership empowers our customers to deploy,
manage, and secure their IoT devices more efficiently and reliably, ensuring
their products meet the highest standards of security and compliance. We are
excited to set a new benchmark in IoT security together with Kudelski IoT."

This collaboration between Kudelski IoT and Microchip Technology
demonstrates a shared commitment to enhancing IoT security. By providing a
scalable, secure, and user-friendly platform for device provisioning and
management, Kudelski IoT and Microchip Technology are setting a new standard
in IoT security.
