First introduced in January 2022 sematicon AG announces the availability of its IoT Certificate Authority (IoT CA) by Summer 2022. Beginning with se.SAM™ N200 Crypto Appliance and se.SAM™ N200X Industrial Crypto Appliance release 5.0 the software option se.SAM™ PKI is pre-installed and licensable per appliance.

The ready to run IoT Certificate Authority helps industrial customers to fulfil any security requirement targeting firmware verification, IoT / IIoT authentication, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 enablement, digital signature, key exchange, and encryption of sensitive information.

Beside the new X.509 certificate possibilities se.SAM™ N200X appliance the N200 Crypto Core integrates two separate CC EAL 6+ certified crypto processors (up to processor OS level), symmetric operations with AES up to 256-bit, a multi-source True Random Number Generator (TRNG) and secure hardware counter for countable unit production.

Focus on ECC keys!

Migrate RSA keys to modern and extremely fast ECC keys. Whereas RSA keys require a key length of 3000+ bits for use beyond 2022, ECC key (ECDSA method) require a key length of 250+ bit only. This dramatically reduce the microprocessors SRAM occupancy rate. Furthermore, the generation of a 3072 or 4096-bit RSA key is an almost impossible task for a low-end microprocessor and requires tons of complex code in its flash memory.

The N200X Industrial Crypto Appliance is configured within 20 minutes to issue its first certificates. Multiple use cases can be supported by a single appliance.

  1. Low purchase price of less than 5000€ for HSM + PKI application (modell N200)
  2. Minimal setup costs and as little as 20% annual maintenance costs
  3. No extra costs for server CALs or issued certificates

Extreme low TCO!

What’s next?

se.SAM™ Industrial PKI bundle is planned to be available by Summer 2022.
