Germany Multiple Nxp Tender

Building upon the commitment made by NXP to drive security for the IoT with The Charter of Trust at the Munich Security Conference NXP Semiconductors N.V. announced various processor families were awarded Level 1 certification in the Arm Platform Security Architecture PSA certification scheme PSA Certified.NXP utilized its decades-long security expertise and leadership in working together with industry partners to harmonize PSA and SESIP security schemes for reduced fragmentation of IoT certifications. From power-efficient MCUs LPC55S00 to crossover processors i.MX RT1050 i.MX RT1060 i.MX RT600 and up to high-performance i.MX applications processors i.MX 7ULP i.MX 8M Nano i.MX 8M Mini i.MX 8QuadXPlus i.MX 8QuadMax are now PSA Certified Level 1. LPC55S00 i.MX RT1050 i.MX RT1060 and i.MX 7ULP are also SESIP certified Level 1 with other families completing soon. Independent verification of the security requirements to gain PSA and SESIP certifications were carried out by Brightsight the worlds largest independent security evaluation lab.The market has been waiting for security standards that enhance consumer confidence said Geoff Lees senior vice president and general manager of microcontrollers. PSA and SESIP provide that assurance and will open the door for much faster deployment of secure industrial and IoT solutions. We are working with ecosystem partners to create uniform certification standards while adding our unique value to raise the bar on security and privacy. Brightsight is excited to work with NXP on these PSA Certified and SESIP projects. Both schemes will improve the security of IoT devices and build a higher level of trust in the value chain said Dirk-Jan Out CEO of Brightsight. This trust is critical for the IoT to succeed. As one of the leading partners of PSA Certified as well as SESIP we are proud to be the security lab and advisory partner supporting NXP in their commitment to secure their products.All PSA and SESIP certified products implement isolated secure execution environment thus protecting sensitive assets by separating them from the user application. A cornerstone to establishing the IoT trustworthiness NXPs ROM-based secure boot process leverages securely stored device keys creating an immutable hardware-based Root-of-Trust RoT. The entire software stack from the bootloader operating system and up to the application software is authenticated starting from the hardware RoT to establish a chain of trust. Several recently introduced crossover processors and MCUs also integrate an SRAM-based Physically Unclonable Function PUF that uses natural variations intrinsic to the SRAM to generate on-demand keys. The security for Public Key Infrastructure PKI or asymmetric encryption is enhanced through the Device Identity Composition Engine DICE security standard as defined by the Trusted Computing Group TCG.With NXPs comprehensive secure-by-design principles and capabilities its embedded processors meet or exceed the Level 1 standards specified by PSA and SESIP with many of these families capable of Level 2 standards.As we drive towards a world of a trillion connected devices its our industrys responsibility to enable trust in connected devices the data they collect and the deployment of these devices at scale said Paul Williamson VP and GM Emerging Business Group at Arm. PSA Certified enables IoT solution developers and device makers to verify their solutions have been designed with a secure foundation in line with PSA principles and NXP is among the first of our partners to deliver a Level 1 PSA Certified product family.Driving Holistic Security for the IoT In addition to PSA Certified and SESIP NXP is also connected to national and international governmental institutions around the world. With them NXP helps coordinate the security expectations certifications requirements and legislation. For example NXP has joined forces with fellow IoT key players in the Charter of Trust is a member of the European Cyber Security Organization ECSO and has connections with the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security ENISA. NXP also actively participates in standardization bodies such as ISO FIDO GlobalPlatform and NFC Forum to promote future security interoperability. Additionally NXP solutions for key applications are certified according to global security standards including Common Criteria ISOIEC 15408-1...3 up to the level EAL 6 certifications.
