Security Provisioning
Secure Your Devices at the Source
Hardware root-of-trust, secure key injection, device identity, and firmware authentication — all integrated into the programming workflow. No separate stations, no extra steps, no security gaps.
The Challenge
Connected Devices Demand Security at the Source
Every connected device is an attack surface. Automotive ECUs, IoT sensors, medical devices, payment terminals — they all need a hardware root-of-trust established at the point of manufacturing.
Retrofitting security after manufacturing is expensive, incomplete, and often impossible. The only way to truly secure a device is to provision its identity, keys, and authenticated firmware at the earliest possible point — during programming.
Our Approach
Earliest-Point Security Provisioning
Security provisioning happens during device programming — the earliest possible point in manufacturing. No separate stations, no extra handling, no security gaps.
Key Injection
Securely inject symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic keys into devices during the programming process. Keys never exist in plaintext outside the secure boundary.
Device Identity
Provision unique device identities and X.509 certificates that establish hardware root-of-trust from the moment of manufacturing.
Firmware Authentication
Sign and verify firmware images before programming. Ensure only authorized, authenticated code is written to the device.
Secure Boot Configuration
Configure secure boot chains that prevent unauthorized firmware from executing. Establish the chain of trust from first power-on.
Certificate Management
Full PKI lifecycle management including certificate generation, rotation, and revocation. Integrated with your existing CA infrastructure.
Audit Trail
Complete traceability of every security operation. Cryptographic proof of what was provisioned, when, and on which device.
Strategic Partnership
Data I/O + IAR: Secure from Code to Silicon
Together with IAR, we provide a seamless security workflow from secure development environment to secure production provisioning. IAR's Embedded Trust platform integrates directly with Data I/O's security provisioning, creating an unbroken chain of trust from source code to silicon.
- Secure firmware signing in IAR Embedded Workbench
- Direct handoff to Data I/O security provisioning
- Automated key management and certificate lifecycle
- End-to-end audit trail from development to production
