Data I/O Corporation announces that it has been awarded a 2018 Embedded Award in the category of Tools for its SentriX Security Provisioning. The award was presented to the company during a Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2018 ceremony that took place at the Embedded World trade show in Nuremberg, Germany.

“As the Internet-of-Things market grows and attacks become increasingly prevalent, OEMs of all sizes must have a cost-effective and integrated method to enable hardware based security from product design through manufacturing. Data I/O’s SentriX Platform provides an end-to-end security provisioning solution for OEMs of any size and volume.” said Anthony Ambrose, President & CEO of Data I/O Corporation. “We are thrilled to be recognized for our innovation with the Embedded Award for the SentriX Security Provisioning Platfom. This solution is available today and ready for production at our programming center partners.”

Data I/O will demonstrate the production-ready, end-to-end provisioning process from design through to manufacturing at Embedded World. Customers can set up an example provisioning job at either the Infineon booth # 3A-231 or at the NXP booth #4A-229 and then transfer the provisioning job into manufacturing onto the SentriX system in Data I/O’s booth #3A-522. 

The SentriX Platform provides a trusted, secured and cost-effective provisioning solution for OEMs of any size to embed a hardware-based root of trust in silicon during the manufacturing flow for their IoT products. This process of provisioning silicon devices enables OEMs to add their own unique identity which is cryptographically tied to an embedded hardware based root-of-trust and can prevent unauthorized firmware from executing on the device. An IoT product secured in this way also enables OEMs to provide secure updates to their products in the field. Hardware based security enabled by the SentriX system also ensures supply chain integrity during the manufacturing process. Unauthorized production and cloning are prevented with this approach. The SentriX Platform provides a secure manufacturing process for a wide variety of secure semiconductor devices.

Embedded World is the largest and most prestigious event for the embedded computing market. The embedded award 2018 recognizes companies who make a key contribution towards the continued successful development of the embedded systems sector and the Internet of Things (IoT).
