Quickly Integrate Security Into Existing Automotive Networks With Minimal Design Impact
As vehicles increasingly integrate Bluetooth® connectivity and advanced cellular networking technologies, they become attractive targets for hackers. Numerous vehicle hacking incidents have affected virtually all OEMs globally, and with more connected vehicles hitting the road, the attack surface continues to grow. This has intensified pressure on OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to secure in-vehicle networks.
To meet the latest OEM cybersecurity requirements—such as hardware-based secure boot and CAN message authentication—Tier 1 suppliers often consider upgrading to dual-core 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) with cryptographic features. However, this can lead to higher silicon costs, increased software development efforts and design risks in implementing security.
The TA100 and TA101 CryptoAutomotive™ security ICs offer a solution by providing external Hardware Security Module (HSM) support without costly redesigns. They support secure boot, CAN message authentication, Electric Vehicle (EV) battery authentication and other security protocols like TLS and HDCP to protect your systems without overhauling existing systems.

Typical Use Cases
Key Advantages of CryptoAutomotive ICs
- Significant cost and time savings compared to redesigning with a new MCU
- Minimal MCU code updates resulting in little to no impact to existing host MCU functional safety ratings
- Preprogrammed with built-in security measures to eliminate the need for in-house security expertise
- Elimination of risk associated with significant MCU code updates
- More whole-chip tampers with a higher level of certifiability
- True hardware key isolation
Avoid the high risks of exposing your secret keys and reduce the costs of mass production by leveraging our secure key provisioning service. Our Trust Platform provisioning service prevents your credentials from being exposed at any time during product development and production while also eliminating the need for you to have extensive knowledge and the necessary secure networks to handle cryptographic keys securely.
Our factories are certified against Common Criteria standards:
- SLC_CMC.5
- ALC_CMS.5
- ALC_DVS.2
- ALC_LCD.1
- ALC_DEL.1
These site certifications ensure that we hold the processes in our supply chain to the highest standards.
Learn more about the certifications at our MPHIL-1 and MPHIL-3 factories in the Philippines and MTHAI-0 and MMT-0 factories in Thailand.
Our processes for designing automotive products have also been UL-certified as compliant to the ISO/SAE 21434: Road Vehicle—Cybersecurity Engineering Standard. This is a demanding specification with 45 security categories, known as work products, each of which specifies a unique set of requirements that encompass all aspects of designing electrical and electronic systems for road vehicles, from ICs and software to firmware and libraries. The ISO/SAE 21434 designation demonstrates that we are dedicated to maintaining high standards in automotive cybersecurity and that cybersecurity is a priority focus throughout our entire organization.
Use the Trust Platform Provisioning Service with four unique tiers of customer support and certified secure factories to leverage our pre-configured and pre-provisioned secure ICs with the most common security use cases.
The Trust Platform Design Suite (TPDS) tool includes secure IC configurators and use cases supported by code examples and tutorials to accelerate your development.
