Ultra-low power MCUs incorporate security measures for IoT apps
STMicroelectronics announces ultra-low-power STM32L5x2 microcontrollers (MCUs) that emphasize security to assure better protected IoT-connected applications. Operating at clock frequencies to 110MHz, the STM32L5-series MCUs start from the Arm Cortex-M33 32-bit RISC core with Arm TrustZone hardware-based security. First conceived for equipment such as desktops, mobile devices, and communication infrastructure, trusted computing authenticates devices connected to […]
Where is embedded security headed in the IoT?
By Alex Koepsel, IoT Marketing Manager, Silicon Labs If you consider how much digital security has evolved in recent years, it is quite astonishing. Our mindset and social acceptance of what is “secure” has changed dramatically over time. For example, before the adoption of ATMs for personal cash withdrawals, the only place you trusted to […]
