IAR Embedded Secure IP ensures late product development security and upgrades embedded security solutions

     IAR, a global leader in Embedded development software and services, announced the launch of IAR Embedded Secure IP solution to help developers build embedded security solutions into their firmware applications, even late in the product project cycle. With IAR's new security solutions, embedded developers can easily build robust security into existing applications, even at a later stage in the software development process, and go straight into production

     With the IAR Embedded Secure IP solution, software managers, engineers, and project managers can quickly upgrade their existing products in a unique, flexible, and secure way at any stage of the design process, even through production and manufacturing. After securing the software, users can use the Hardware Security Component (HSM) of the IAR Embedded Security solution to safely deploy the software onto the device themselves, or with an IAR-approved partner such as Hi-Lo Systems or EPS Global for secure mass production.

     With IAR Embedded Secure IP, developers using McU-centric systems don't have to reset their software development process. Even late in the development phase, developers can easily incorporate embedded security into firmware applications. The solution protects sensitive data through data obfuscation processing and encrypting procedures to avoid hiding executable applications. Based on the latest data protection standards, IAR Embedded Secure IP dynamically supports user-specific key creation, injection, and configuration with the help of digital signatures and device keys, fully utilizes unique device identities or characteristics to provide clone protection, and provides protection for user IP.

     IAR Embedded Secure IP encrypts developers' code and applications and transmits users' protected intellectual property to specific authentication devices. Its "anti-cloning" feature generates unique identifiers for software applications and equipment hardware to avoid counterfeiting and overproduction during manufacturing; In addition, the Active IP Protection feature uses encryption to secure device access, ensuring the security of users' intellectual property such as applications, libraries, and other assets.

     With IAR Embedded Secure IP, users can implement security features even later in the development process. To provide the most user friendly experience, IAR Embedded Secure IP is highly compatible with all third-party libraries and third-party security startup management mechanisms. Iars provide small, simple code tools that make it easy to integrate security features even in low-cost devices with small memory.

     "IAR Embedded Secure IP can effortlessly incorporate security at any stage of a product's project cycle," said Ada Lu, senior Manager, Product Marketing, IAR Embedded Security Solutions. With our tools for post-security, users can remain flexible during their development and be prepared for future security needs."
