HCC Embedded Releases MISRA-Compliant Embedded Cryptography Suite and Manager

New CryptoCore™ Encryption Suite Secures Embedded IoT Devices

NÜRNBERG, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AdvancedEncryptionModule—HCC
Embedded, experts in software for securely storing and communicating
embedded data, has released its CryptoCore™ embedded-cryptography suite
to ensure that IoT devices can be managed securely. With this new
encryption suite, HCC provides a complete end-to-end security solution
focused on system-level design and software-quality issues largely
unaddressed in the industry.

All CryptoCore software libraries are managed through HCC’s Embedded
Encryption Manager (EEM), which provides a high-quality standard
interface to any hardware or software cryptography implementation. This
greatly simplifies the design process, makes software portable, and
enables use of software crypto-libraries or hardware-accelerated
algorithms on chips that provide them.

Available libraries support authentication, confidentiality, and
integrity strategies through Base64, DSS, Elliptic Curve, Ephemeral
Diffie-Hellman, MD5, RSA, SHA, DES, and Tiger. EEM provides a universal
management interface for software- or hardware-based acceleration, where
available, on microcontrollers including NXP Kinetis and i.MX, TI TM4C,
and STM32 MCUs.

Discussions about security tend to focus on the algorithms rather than
on real-world issues faced by embedded-networking engineers. Because
large-scale hacks of modern algorithms are almost unknown, the pressing
engineering challenge is how to design a system that is secure and of
quality sufficient to minimize security risks.

HCC handles such issues by providing end-to-end security solutions
appropriate for real-world applications and by providing evidence of the
quality processes and standards used. All components are compliant with
HCC’s rigorous MISRA standards and are provided with full compliance
reports. All MISRA rules are applied and any exceptions are identified
and explained. Advanced test suites are also available.

“Software defects cause security weaknesses but well established quality
processes can be used to minimize the risk to system security,” said HCC
Embedded CEO Dave Hughes. “HCC is committed to following strong quality
processes and providing the evidence to system designers to help them
create more secure networks.”

About HCC Embedded

HCC Embedded’s software solutions ensure that any data stored or
communicated by an embedded IoT application is secure, safe, and
reliable. With 15+ years’ deep understanding of flash, HCC secures data
for customers in IoT, medical, transport, industrial, and aerospace
markets. HCC Embedded is ISO 9001:2015 certified and software is
developed using formal processes, system-level knowledge, and
recognized quality practices to ensure robustness and verifiable
quality. HCC’s product portfolio includes communications products (USB,
TCP/IPv4, IPv6, TLS/SSL, IPSec/IKE stacks) and storage products (file
systems, media drivers, flash translation layers (FTL), smart-meter
software, bootloaders) as well as encryption technology. Because all
software is portable, target-independent, and can be dropped onto any
RTOS, MCU, or tool-chain, any embedded system can be upgraded to be
safer, more reliable, and more secure. www.hcc-embedded.com
