Flasher Secure—Protect The Vendor's IP
Flasher Secure is a mass production programming system, capable of protecting the vendor’s IP regardless of the production site. It provides full control over the programming process at contract manufacturers (CM) and similar environments.
- Authenticated production with full visibility
- Production volume control
- CM administration and setup portal
- Ultra fast programming
- Supports Cortex-M, RX, PPC
- Prevents production of counterfeit units
- No overhead in programming time
- Secure your production at contract manufacturers
Flasher Secure—How it works
When you need to go for mass production, it is common to employ a contract manufacturer (CM) to mass-produce products. CMs have access to the customer's IP and large quantities of the components they are contracted to produce. Because of this, it is essential that customers control both their IP and limit CM production to prevent theft and secure revenue. To combat these threats, Flasher Secure uses mutual authentication, authorization, and confidentiality to secure your IP and production run. As an IP owner, you have full end-to-end control of your production chain.
End-to-End Security
Flasher Secure supports vendor-specific trusted firmware features to ensure end-to-end encryption, authentication, and confidentiality covering the whole process including the 'last mile'.
Secured Firmware
Modern products carry a huge amount of intellectual property (IP). From the IP owners point of view most of the IP is located inside the firmware. IP owners want to protect their IP. The Flasher Secure system uses authentication algorithms to make sure, that only authorized boot loaders and firmware are used in the system. If one component is not genuine, the device will stop working. Simply copying the firmware and/or bootloader from one device to another is not possible any more.
