CITADEL from Intrinsic-ID
The world’s first SRAM PUF-based key provisioning system designed to keep pace with the growing demand for the generation, distribution, and protection of cryptographic keys for IoT applications
Securing billions of IoT devices requires a new key provisioning method that scales. Even the most innocuous IoT endpoints (such as webcams, DVR recorders and light bulbs) need protection, as demonstrated by the September 2016 Mirai cyber attack. The exploitation of these types of nodes led to a large scale disruption of Internet services. The economic impact of such attacks can be huge, but they are only an early warning of what is to come. The best way to protect against the expansion of these threats is to prioritize the integration of appropriate and affordable security measures for all IoT devices from endpoints to hosts, hubs and the cloud. Important barriers that hold back this integration come with a high cost, inflexibility, and lack of scalability of legacy key injection models
CITADEL is the world’s first SRAM PUF-based key provisioning system designed to keep pace with the growing demand for the generation, distribution, and protection of cryptographic keys for IoT- applications. The CITADEL key provisioning system is built around a full-featured set of manufacturing and OEM managed tools. The software libraries that run on manufacturing equipment have been designed for full-speed production. The OEM management modules are ready for integration into enterprise class infrastructures. This method removes the barriers to securing a broad range of IoT devices, even resource-limited endpoints, building the foundation for an Internet of Things we can trust
