Samsung ARTIK offers a family of modules (ARTIK 1, ARTIK 5, and ARTIK 10)
tailored for the Internet of Things (IoT).
Thales has announced that the SAMSUNG ARTIKTM platform
includes hardware security technology to ensure the authenticity
and validity of device firmware. The SAMSUNG ARTIK internet
of things (IoT) platform is supported by Thales’s cryptographic
solutions to provide cryptographic key generation, verification,
signing and key management.
Ultimately, the interoperability of all of these devices – ranging
from complex and sophisticated products such as home appliances, mobile devices and televisions, to lightweight and small
accessories such as lamps, thermometers, switches and sensors – will allow people to enjoy a smarter, more convenient lifestyle. The open SAMSUNG ARTIK platform provides all of the
essential hardware and software building blocks to allow faster,
simpler development of new enterprise, industrial and consumer applications. This allows developers to focus on their areas
of expertise in designing new applications and services rather
than having to build entire systems from the ground up, enabling
a faster time-to-market.
“One of the benefits of the SAMSUNG ARTIK ecosystem is the
ability to leverage the wealth of expertise available in the market to help bring the best IoT solutions to bear much faster,”
said Curtis Sasaki, vice president of ecosystems, Samsung
Electronics. “Thales’s proven track record of delivering best-inclass cryptographic hardware security and key management will
benefit our developers and the larger ecosystem by enabling a
new generation of IoT products and applications to enter the
market with enhanced privacy and security features critical for
“In the new world of connected everything, trust and security
are critical to the interaction of devices, people and things,”
said Peter Galvin, vice president of strategy, Thales e-Security.
“Securing personal data, preventing unauthorized access or
ensuring the integrity of things – be it a smart watch, TV, medical device or personal fitness product requires sophisticated
security controls. Thales has long been a partner of Samsung
delivering cryptographic security at point of manufacture to
mobile phones and televisions, and we are delighted that now
Samsung has chosen Thales to deliver the critical security infrastructure to deliver on its vision of a secure IoT ecosystem.”
Thales e-Security is a leading global provider of digital trust
management and data protection solutions that protect the
world’s most sensitive applications and information. Thales
solutions address identity and privacy related challenges with
hardware and software-based encryption, digital signature,
and management capabilities.
