HCC Embedded Encryption Manager Improves Embedded Data Security and Reliability in the Internet of Things

Santa Clara, Calif. – Oct. 1, 2014 – HCC Embedded has released a new Embedded Encryption ManagerTM that allows developers to secure IoT systems using multiple encryption or hash algorithms through a uniform interface. Using a well-defined interface shortens development time as developers can now simply drop-in the Manager and encrypt data stored on flash or transmitted across a network. Such security is necessary to block potential hackers looking for a backdoor into the microcontroller-based system.

Developed using a formal process, HCC Embedded Encryption Manager undergoes verification to ensure stability and … Read More → "HCC Embedded Encryption Manager Improves Embedded Data Security and Reliability in the Internet of Things"
