New OPTIGA™ TPM Security Controller with SPI Bus is First to Receive Common Criteria Certificate at the RSA Conference
Munich, Germany, and San Francisco, USA –April 23, 2015 – Infineon Technolo-gies AG announced that its new OPTIGA™ TPM (Trusted Platform Module) with SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) has achieved Common Criteria Certification EAL4+. The certificate was presented to Infineon by the Federal Office for Information Security (known as BSI) at the RSA conference in San Francisco. This certification enables system manufacturers and users to distinguish and selecttrustworthy solutionsbased on internationally recognized and independent testing.
The OPTIGA™TPM family provides hardware-based security for system applica-tions across industrial, embedded, mobile or tablets as well as traditional compu-ting environments. The newly certified OPTIGA™ TPM 1.2 with SPI bus is the first of a next-generation of TPMs developed to meet future market requirements. The chip is based on Infineon’s security crypto controller and Certified Secure Fla-shembedded memory. With its broad market deployment, the SPI bus is ideal for personal computers. But it also supports the use of TPMs in an even wider area such as industrial computing and embedded systems that are increasingly con-nected like IoTgateways, routers or even surveillance cameras.These applications may benefit, in particular, from an optimized interface with high performance.
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is defined by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG), which provides open standards intended to enable safe computing envi-ronments in multiple end applications. As the market leader for TPMs, Infineon was the first to develop TPM 2.0 and now extends its lead with certified devices with SPI bus.
