NXP Semiconductors EdgeLock SE050 Plug and Trust Secure Element delivers Root of Trust at the IC level, providing IoT applications state-of-the-art, edge-to-cloud security capability right out of the box. The solution provides enhanced Common Criteria EAL 6+ security certification up to the OS level. SE050 also supports both RSA and ECC asymmetric cryptographic algorithms with high key length and future proof ECC curves. The latest security measures protect the IC against sophisticated non-invasive and invasive attack scenarios. Delivered as a ready-to-use, turnkey solution, the solution comprises a total product support package that decreases time to market.

To support scalability while servicing the broadest range of use cases in IoT applications, the solution is offered in different pin-to-pin compatible configurations, including versions with support for sensors directly attached to the device via the I2C Master or contactless interface.


Typical applications include home and building control for smart cities and smart homes; industrial solutions for smart industry and smart supply chains.
