Premier integration with Microchip, and collaborative partnerships with ST
Microelectronics, Infineon, and Silicon Labs radically simplify a critical
IoT security requirement.

CHESEAUX-SUR-LAUSANNE, Switzerland, and PHOENIX, AZ, USA - 9 April 2024 -
Kudelski IoT, a leader in digital security and IoT solutions and a division
of the Kudelski Group (SIX: KUD.S), today announced that its keySTREAM IoT
security product now enables the provisioning of chips from four of the
world's top microcontroller and connectivity IC manufacturers, enabling
device OEMs to automate and streamline the provisioning of IoT products at
the factory or in the field. This simplifies inventory management and
onboarding to cloud computing services via a large variety of different
chips including secure elements, MCUs and Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® solutions.
This fulfills an important requirement by both standards organizations and
regulators by ensuring each device has its own unique identity.

The keySTREAM provisioning service gives OEMs freedom of choice among
leading chipsets while providing a unified provisioning platform to simplify
key and certificate management across multiple brands. The service works
according to two different models. The premier integration model is a deep
collaboration between Kudelski IoT and semiconductor manufacturers that
embeds the infrastructure for keySTREAM provisioning and lifecycle
management within the chipset itself, bundling product and service into a
single offering. The Microchip ECC608 TrustMANAGER is Kudelski's first
premier integration, and includes a self-service root certificate authority
and in-field provisioning service powered by keySTREAM as an integrated part
of the Microchip product, reducing integration effort and complexity while
speeding time to market for OEM customers.

Kudelski IoT's collaborative partnerships with STMicroelectronics, Infineon,
and Silicon Laboratories offer keySTREAM in-field provisioning as an
optional service to OEMs. Kudelski IoT libraries are integrated with
semiconductor partner tools to enable device manufacturers to personalize
their products in the factory or in the field.

Both models enable OEMs to have full control over provisioning, storing, and
managing credentials like PKI keys and certificates in their devices,
creating the unique, secure identities that form the foundation for numerous
security lifecycle management functions like secure boot, secure FOTA, data
encryption and authentication and secure feature enablement.

The automated keySTREAM process eliminates the need for the complex and
error-prone management of pre-provisioned inventory supplied by a chip
manufacturer or third-party IC provisioning services. It also helps OEMs
comply with the emerging security regulations and standards in the Smart
Home, Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Industrial Automation and Control,
Healthcare, Medical Devices, Aerospace, Defense, and other industries served
by semiconductor manufacturers. Regulatory and standards requirements are
increasingly demanding the types of security features enabled by keySTREAM.

The Kudelski Group has three decades of experience in device credential
provisioning and has worked with dozens of chipset manufacturers and
thousands of chipset models. Kudelski IoT is recognized worldwide as a
source of security certificates, including as a provider of Matter Device
Attestation Certificates (DACs) recognized by the Connectivity Standards
Alliance.

Hardy Schmidbauer, Senior Vice President at Kudelski IoT, said, 'For many
IoT device manufacturers, security provisioning is today a laborious manual
process that is prone to error, seriously compromising the security of
individual devices, or even of a manufacturer's whole chain of security. By
partnering with top IC manufacturers, Kudelski IoT is making provisioning a
simpler, more automated, and secure process than ever before. And innovative
partners like Microchip are making it even more attractive to OEMs by
offering the provisioning service as a core part of their offering; a model
which we anticipate others will adopt in the future.'

Kudelski IoT is exhibiting its secure provisioning solutions with the
Microchip TrustMANAGER platform at its booth 5-176 at the Embedded World
trade show (Nuremberg, Germany, 9-11 April 2024).
