Hsinchu, Taiwan, Dec. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jmem Tek, a specialist in hardware security and post-quantum cryptography for IoT devices, announces a global partnership with Andes Technology, a leading supplier of high efficiency, low-power 32/64-bit RISC-V processor IPs and Founding Premier member of RISC-V International. Jmem Tek also joined the AndeSentry™ security collaborative framework, which offers a range of security solutions for Andes RISC-V processors, designed to counter threats from both cyber-attacks and physical attacks and enhance product security.
Jmem Tek’s PUF-based security chip, designed with Andes compact and efficient N25F RISC-V processor and Jmem Tek’s comprehensive hardware security module IP, is the world’s first NIST post-quantum cryptographic algorithm chip based on RISC-V. This collaboration brings customers an industrial-grade cyber-security solution designed to withstand future quantum computing threats.
The PUF (Physical Unclonable Function) technology in Jmem Tek’s security chip has been independently verified as robust against all known cyberattack mechanisms. PUF generates unique, unforgeable identities and cryptographic keys within microcontrollers and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) on-demand. These identities and keys create a root-of-trust for the chips, used in IoT devices and edge nodes. PUF eliminates the need for key injection and secure storage, fitting perfectly into the security framework embraced by the RISC-V architecture.
Jmem Tek’s hardware security module IP integrates seamlessly with the AndeSentry™ collaborative security framework, providing secure provisioning, automated onboarding to cloud platforms, security monitoring, and key lifecycle management. With a few keystrokes, customers can securely connect thousands of IoT devices to servers through cryptographic APIs.
John Chang, CEO of Jmem Tek, commented, “We are excited to partner with Andes Technology, one of the leading forces in the RISC-V ecosystem. RISC-V processors provide the foundation for the next generation of IoT devices, and our security solution complements this by ensuring data protection in the face of emerging cybersecurity threats. Together, we are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in secure computing.”
Dr. Charlie Su, president and CTO of Andes added, “As the cyber threat landscape evolves, leading-edge processors must be equipped with leading-edge security. Jmem Tek’s PUF-based security technology is an important addition to our AndeSentry™ collaborative security framework, helping us offer best-in-class security solutions to our RISC-V customers.”
