Security sol'n targets intelligent connected devices

Elliptic Technologies has announced the tVault security architecture that according to the company enables end-to-end security in connected devices. It also secures trusted execution environments (TEEs) and enforces the protection of sensitive information to ensure storage, processing and accessing only by authorized applications, added the company.

tVault enables highly secure environments that allow for many applications including digital rights management (DRM) and content protection, over-the-top (OTT) TV, mobile TV and electronic financial transactions to be deployed in high performance computing platforms. It consists of firmware, standard APIs, hardware support and acceleration that runs efficiently in limited resource environments, described Elliptic.

The security architecture integrates seamlessly within frameworks such as ARM TrustZone, where the critical security components are embedded in a trusted and secure OS environment, noted the company. The non-critical components are executed by the OS such as Android. tVault enables SoC vendors, OEMs, ODMs and network operators to rapidly bring products to market with robust, standards-compliant security, boasted Elliptic.

The tVault HDCP 2.1 and tVault DTCP-IP are dedicated to content protection and are essential security technologies that allow consumers to enjoy high definition premium content anywhere and anytime, while safeguarding the rights of media producers to protect their investment in programming production, Elliptic added.
