Samsung introduces integrated secure element solution for IoT

Samsung has introduced its integrated Secure Element (SE) solution for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, that the company says offer a turn-key service for both hardware and software.

At the hardware level, Samsung’s SE is expected to stop and reset itself the moment it detects abnormal activity, thus protecting the sensitive data stored within the security IC (integrated circuit). The SE adopts embedded flash (eFlash) at the 45-nanometer (nm) process node.

Samsung’s software for the SE supports tasks such as personal verification, security key storage, and encoding and decoding. This software also allows key and authentication information to be safely transferred between devices, servers and clouds.
