to-protect is a family of lightweight secure libraries designed to protect devices and data against security attacks.

Having the same security functionalities as a Secure Element, it can be used as a software Root-of-Trust (RoT) for generic MCU-based devices:

• Designed for devices with limited computing and communication capabilities.

• Available in several product versions according to communication protocols.

• Enable critical security functions: secure authentication, data transfer integrity and confidentiality, secure boot, secure storage and more.

• Easy download into any generic MCU (ARM Cortex, RISC V…) without having to change the design of the IoT hardware platform. 

to-protect benefits: 

• Easy security retrofit for devices already in the field through FUOTA mechanism (Firmware update over the air)

• Prevention against logical and physical security attacks on IoT devices exposed to threats

• Reduced code size, no impact on device performances

• Easy to integrate into security management platforms

• SESIP certified (Security Evaluation Standard for IoT platforms)
