Synopsys offers a range of security solutions-Securing embedded SIMs

Feb. 20, 2018 – If you have a phone, you probably know it has a SIM card, for most of us the anchor that ties us into a 2/3-year plan with one network provider, unless you have an unlocked phone. Even then, you have to mess around swapping SIM cards if you travel overseas. Wouldn't it be nice if the SIM was embedded and could be switched though an app or an over-the-air (OTA) update? That's the promise of embedded SIMS. And they're not just for phones. Since everything in the IoT now has the potential to communicate through cellular, you really don't want to have to manage SIM cards in all those devices; that technology just won't scale. Embedded SIMs make a lot more sense.

Of course, some of these applications are also concerned about security - a lot. Take mobile payments, industrial applications wanting to switch to remote updates, entertainment apps requiring content protection and virtually any healthcare application. When you allow for software-based reconfiguration, locally or OTA, security concerns become paramount.

Which makes for some interesting wrinkles in the compute engine you want to use to build such a device. Naturally you want it to have a small form-factor and very low power. But now you also want best-in-class security. If you follow advances in security, these days that means a lot more than an on-board encryption engine. Synopsys has just released a new ARC Secure Subsystem with an integrated ARC SEM security processor to address just this need.
