Micron, Microsoft Team on IoT Security

EE Times Asia, May. 03, 2017 – 

Cybersecurity is one of the biggest challenges and barriers to the growth of IoT deployments, especially since digitisation and adoption of Internet protocol (IP) for sensors and devices has become increasingly pervasive.

Micron Technology has partnered with tech giant Microsoft to address the major challenge of providing trusted computing models for IoT deployments in industrial, automotive and consumer environments.

The initiative will combine Microsoft Azure IoT cloud with Micron's Authenta technology. Essentially, the new platform utilises a hardware "root of trust" integrated into Micron's flash memory in the IoT device along with Microsoft's Azure IoT cloud to establish a strong trusted link between the device and the cloud.
