Overview

The tRoot™ Hardware Secure Modules (HSMs) with Root of Trust enable connected devices to securely and uniquely identify and authenticate themselves to create secure channels for remote device management and service deployment.
The flexible tRoot Fx HSM (Figure 1) includes fully programmable and highly configurable solutions that enable designers to tune the HSM to their exact requirements, while the pre-built tRoot Vx HSM family offers a defined security boundary for a complete, drop-in security solution.
tRoot HSMs are designed to easily integrate into system-on-chips (SoCs) and provide robust hardware-enforced protection while maintaining a high level of performance through cryptographic acceleration and offering designers options to create solutions with the most efficient combination of power,
size, and performance. tRoot HSMs provide a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to protect sensitive information and processing and implement security- critical functions such as secure boot, storage, debug, anti-tampering and key management required throughout the device life cycle.
