With the spread of infrastructure for IoT, various devices now seamlessly connect to cloud services and huge amounts of data are being accumulated and analyzed in the cloud. In addition, it is expected that this data that is accumulated and analyzed in the cloud will bring a more comfortable and efficient social life to people in the future through the practical application of AI, processing instructions that promote autonomous control based on such data which is fed back to equipment and systems. With this background, security measures in IoT services, in general, have been recognized as an important issue in all processes from development to maintenance to service outages.
What is Edge Trust?
In order to achieve secure IoT services, it is necessary to not only protect communication between IoT devices and the cloud, but to manage confidential information in operations, procedures and processing throughout the life cycle of IoT devices, from manufacturing to shipping and disposal. In addition, there are enormous business costs necessary to achieve this, such as interactions with many businesses in each process of the development.
Edge Trust, supported by the RX65N is a solution with Renesas RX microcontrollers' Trusted Secure IP, Ubiquitous AI Corporation's secure IoT device development software, and Toppan Printing's key management and device ID management system, which realizes secure IoT services that provide secure IoT device development and device management systems and provide one-step support for product life cycle management through services and products provided by each partner.
Edge Trust addresses all life cycle management challenges
