Data I/O Partners with Secure Thingz to Deliver Scripting Interface Upgrade to the SentriX™ Secure Provisioning SystemScripting Interface significantly accelerates support for Secure Elements and Secure Microcontrollers on the SentriX Secure Provisioning System REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), a leading global provider of advanced data programming and security provisioning solutions for flash-memory, flash based microcontrollers, secure elements and authentication ICs, announces the immediate availability of the Scripting Interface, developed in a collaboration with Secure Thingz, for the SentriX™ Secure Provisioning System. The Scripting Interface, based on the next-generation Secure Deploy platform from Secure Thingz, provides a leap forward in enabling rapid device support for the Data I/O SentriX Secure Provisioning System. “Although our customers may not directly interact with the Scripting Interface, they will nonetheless benefit greatly from its inclusion in SentriX,” said Anthony Ambrose, President and CEO of Data I/O Corporation. “Scripting makes the interface between the Secure Thingz Guardian Hardware Security module (HSM) and the other components of the Data I/O SentriX System more powerful and flexible. This will result in many more devices supported on the SentriX platform and faster time to market for a new device support request.” The SentriX Secure Provisioning System already supports Secure Elements from partners such as NXP Semiconductor, Maxim Integrated and Infineon Technologies. The Scripting Interface allws Data I/O and Secure Thingz to expand this support to include Secure Microcontrollers such as the Cypress Semiconductor PSoC® 6 MCU Family, Microchip Technology SAML11 MCU Family and Renesas Electronics Synergy™ Platform. The Scripting interface will be delivered as an upgrade to the existing SentriX platforms already deployed in secure provisioning centers around the world such as those found at Arrow Electronics and Avnet, Inc.

SentriX™ Security Provisioning Platform The SentriX Platform provides a trusted, secured and cost-effective provisioning solution for OEMs of any size to embed a hardware-based root of trust in silicon during the manufacturing flow for their IoT products. This process of provisioning silicon devices enables OEMs to add their own unique identity which is cryptographically tied to an embedded hardware based root-of-trust and can prevent unauthorized firmware from executing on the device. An IoT product secured in this way also enables OEMs to provide secure updates to their products in the field. Hardware-based security enabled by the SentriX system also insures supply chain integrity during the manufacturing process. Unauthorized production and cloning are prevented with this approach. Some of the world’s largest and best-in-class technology, semiconductor, security and distribution supply chain companies have partnered with Data I/O to bring the SentriX Platform to market, including Arrow Electronics, Avnet, IAR Systems, Microchip Technology, NXP, and Secure Thingz (now a part of IAR Systems).
