Micron® Case Study: Authenta™

Micron® is leveraging its position as a leader in the manufacturing of flash memory, and a leader in the embedded markets, to create a whole new paradigm to address IoT security challenges.

Micron® Authenta™ Key Management Service (KMS)

Micron® developed the Authenta™ Security-as-a-Service platform as a cost effective, widely scalable and business appropriate way to employ security across a diverse set of systems with fragmented supply-chains and ecosystems.

The Authenta™ platform is a combination of the Authenta™ enabled flash, which has the integration of a secure element function in the flash with provisioned identities, and a Authenta™ Key Management Service (KMS). This provides a simple activation and ownership change service for a wide-range of IoT security services and device management services. The combination of these two capabilities along with the commitment of a market leader to drive the solution to the market creates a very attractive proposition for our customers, securing their products in a connected world.

SanCloud’s BeagleBone® Enhanced serves as a development platform and a working demo for this innovative technology. SanCloud also offers its software development and hardware design services to businesses seeking to integrate Authenta™ into their own systems.

We use SanCloud’s Beaglebone® Enhanced as a trusted boot demo platform. SanCloud exceeded expectations in execution, delivery and craftsmanship. Working engineer to engineer makes the whole Contract Manufacturing process a real pleasure.

I recommend SanCloud to other groups within Micron when they need a reference platform. The BeagleBone Enhanced with its near client desktop OS package model, strips away a lot of the embedded hardware platform boilerplate work you need to go through when dealing with a more traditional embedded Linux system.
