Certification and Security: Infineon’s OPTIGA TPM for Embedded Applications

The OPTIGA™ series is a security solution designed by Infineon specifically for embedded systems, allowing easy integration into embedded systems to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of information and devices. This series features a variety of configurations from basic identity authentication chips to various complex application implementations, providing a hardware-based scalable security solution.

The OPTIGA™ Trust series offers a range of products from small platforms to programmable solutions, while the OPTIGA™ TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is suitable for embedded PCs, mobile, and computing applications. All OPTIGA™ TPM products comply with Trusted Computing Group (TCG) standards.

The OPTIGA™ TPM family provides hardware security for system applications in industrial, embedded, mobile, or traditional computing environments. The newly certified OPTIGA™ TPM 1.2 with SPI bus is the first product in a new generation of TPMs designed to meet future market demands. This chip is based on Infineon’s secure encryption controllers and agile mask embedded memory. With its broad market applications, the SPI bus is suitable for personal computers. However, it supports using TPM in a wider range of fields, such as industrial computing and increasingly connected embedded systems, like IoT gateways, routers, or monitoring probes. Particularly, these applications can benefit from optimized high-performance interfaces.

The OPTIGA™ TPM security controller is well-suited for operation on Windows and Linux (and their derivatives) platforms. This series is based on Trusted Computing Group (TCG) standards, supporting TPM 1.2 or the latest innovative TPM 2.0 standards, applicable to Chrome OS’s SLB 9645 product version.
