No matter what your end device is, be it a light bulb or a driver’s license, it needs to be secure. I don’t think we need to go through the reasons why it needs to be secure. How you do that is becoming increasingly more difficult. And you may be looking at protecting millions of devices, where each one needs its own unique identity. 

To get a handle on how you would do this, at least where you would begin this daunting task, I spoke to two experts: Patrick Carrier, Manager for Secure Solutions at Infineon, and Xin Qiu, Head of Security Solutions at CommScope. 

On this week’s Embedded Executives podcast, they lay out the need and then the process a developer would follow.

The 20822 Bluetooth module is the perfect ready-to-use solution for those looking to streamline Bluetooth development in their products.

Retail is a rapidly evolving space, and the technology driving much of that innovation is to be found in electronic shelf labels (ESL), while ESL tech is growing into other markets and even more sophisticated applications. Some industry insiders say that ESL could be growing even faster if it wasn’t being hampered by challenges like vendor lock-in and a lack of standardization.

In this episode of Embedded Insiders, Rich and Jeff Baldwin, Director of Engineering at Sealevel Systems, discuss the process of designing systems for harsh environments and how Sealevel’s expertise helps customers get started with safe and reliable solutions.

Our next segment is sponsored by Infineon Technologies. Rich Nass is joined by Erik Wood, Infineon’s Senior Director of Microcontroller Cryptography and Product Security, and the two discuss quantum computing and how the experts at Infineon are working to keep systems secure.

Infineon’s 20822 module is the ideal turnkey solution delivering a ton of performance and power efficiency in a cost-effective package that contains everything developers will need to integrate Bluetooth into their products.

Embedded computing has become more of an underlying force driving automotive technology than even gasoline in the last few years. The proof can be found in every auto show, and how much they are dominated by software vendors and embedded computing solutions. Not to mention the degree to which technology shows like CES and embedded world have been filled with automotive-targeted technology and solutions.

We’re in the era of quantum computing. That brings with it a lot of great things. But at the same time, it brings some not so good things. Once again, we’re in a race to stay ahead of the bad guys to keep our systems secure. 

Folks like the experts at Infineon are doing what they can to do just that. And the best part is that they are trying to insulate their customers from having to deal with all the different measures that must be put in place. 

Hear from Erik Wood, Infineon’s Senior Director of Microcontroller Cryptography and Product Security, to see if this sounds like a fit for your design. Check out this week’s Embedded Executives podcast to learn more.
