Enhancing Security with to-protect: Trusted Objects' Secure Storage Solution

One of the most critical aspects of provisioning a digital certificate within a device is protecting secret keys - private keys associated with certificates - essential for authentication, encryption, and secure communications.
Securely storing these keys inside an MCU is vital to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyberattacks.

Trusted Objects has developed to-protect, a software security stack designed to ensure secure storage of sensitive data within embedded component.
Programming to-protect into the device drastically reduces the risk of malicious key extraction.

Beyond secure key storage, to-protect is a family of lightweight security libraries that protect intellectual property (IP) and sensitive data while enabling critical security functions such as secure authentication, data integrity and confidentiality in transfers, secure boot, and more.

Key Benefits of to-protect:

• Designed for devices based on generic MCUs with limited computing and communication capabilities.
• Available in multiple versions tailored to different communication protocols.
• Seamlessly integrates with any generic MCU (ARM Cortex, RISC-V, etc.) without requiring hardware modifications. 

Certified for SESIP, to-protect ensures compliance with industry security standards and regulations, making secure storage implementation simpler, stronger, and more scalable.
