System Security
Solutions for the connected world
As the leader for hardware-based security with extensive knowledge of embedded control requirements, Infineon enables customers to build security models based on best-in-class hardware in customized solutions.
Software can be easily analyzed, modified and copied. As a result, software alone cannot protect an entire platform in the same way as an embedded security concept. lt does not constitute a Root of Trust. Embedded concepts, in contrast, balance security across software and hardware layers.
The embedded approach to security builds a comprehensive Root of Trust in a system. This Root of Trust can protect an entire platform, including software, system services, functionality and devices. Hardware-based security at platform level allows simple and cost-effective integration of security-sensitive software code and significantly increases flexibility in development and design. lt also allows you to tailor the security ratings of the product or solution to your needs.
Solutions for rising security demands
The right balance between hardware-based and software-based security mechanisms allows you to protect your system at the appropriate level.
Markets with increasingly stringent demands for security are emerging. One of the main security drivers in these markets is IP protection, a key success factor for future business. Infineon focuses on three major security features (Authentication, Integrity and Trusted Computing) and provides dedicated solutions for rising demands in these segments.
Infineon’s extensive portfolio of security controllers covers all applications in which security functionality is required. Examples include multi-applications, combining transport and payment, personal access incorporating logical access to networks and government access.

Components for medical system
Infineon offers dedicated security concepts scaling from low-end to high-end embedded security solutions. For simplified authentication applications, dedicated cryptographic targets are integrated into hardware for optimum price/protection ratio. An extensive portfolio of security controllers targets applications in which additional security functionality or certification is required. Examples range from simple original parts authentication to devices for very complex Trusted Computing systems, such as Trusted Platform Modules.

Infineon increases flexibility by leveraging its long-standing expertise to support the latest packaging technologies. This gives you the opportunity to benefit from new form factors and to meet tougher market demands. Along widespread smart card modules (wire bond and flip chip), we provide products with a wide variety of SMD (Surface Mounted Device) packages.
We also scale security across different product families, giving you an easy migration path as security demands rise. Because we cover the full application spectrum (automotive, industrial and consumer) and our core competencies extend across analog/mixed signal, RF, power and embedded control, we are ideally positioned to rapidly adapt standard security products to new security application needs.
As every project and every design is different, Infineon supports you depending on your requirements. This support aims for fast and easy integration of a security concept into your system with an optimized cost/effort position. Complementing this support during the design-in phase we also offer production services to optimize your supply chain, e.g. by loading the necessary data and secrets onto the secure chip with our secured manufacturing environment.
