Synopsys and Truphone Enable Secure Over-the-Air Provisioning with Integrated SIM IP and Managed Services Solution

DesignWare tRoot HSM IP for iSIM and Truphone Io3 Managed Services Deliver Secure Mobile Connectivity to Cellular IoT Devices

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and LONDON, Sept. 11, 2018 -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) and Truphone today announced a collaboration to integrate Truphone's embedded SIM (eUICC) software into the DesignWare^® tRoot^™ Hardware Secure Module (HSM) for integrated SIM (iSIM) to protect device connectivity and management. The new Synopsys tRoot HSM for iSIM reduces the area, power, and cost of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that require secure, unique identification and authentication. The Truphone Io3 Platform's remote SIM provisioning service, built to support the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) Embedded SIM Specification, offers a suite of intelligent systems to manage iSIM-enabled products throughout their lifecycle. Synopsys' tRoot HSM for iSIM, combined with Truphone's Io3 Platform and SIM technology, provide the necessary hardware, software, and services needed to enable mobile network operators and product manufacturers to securely connect and manage devices in worldwide cellular networks.

"Truphone's unique SIM technology, which has been integrated into the Synopsys tRoot HSM IP, enables devices to come ready for cellular connection. Through Truphone's Io3 Platform, devices can be connected to any network in the world—out of the box," said Steve Alder, chief business development officer at Truphone. "Together, we are enabling an open ecosystem that removes the cost and complexity of distributing physical SIMs and makes the job of connecting devices much simpler. For the IoT, this opens up significant opportunities to simplify access to mobile networks and makes the mobile IoT viable for many new use cases."

"Building secure, cellular connected IoT devices requires SIM hardware that works hand-in-hand with remote provisioning services to enable secure in-field updates," said John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP at Synopsys. "Our new DesignWare tRoot HSM for iSIM provides a pre-verified hardware and software solution, including SIM software from Truphone, that enables cellular connectivity in a consumer or IoT device while protecting the SoC against malicious attacks."

DesignWare tRoot HSM

The tRoot HSM integrates a DesignWare ARC^® SEM110 Security Processor with SecureShield^™ technology, which provides advanced security features to protect against side-channel attacks. The tRoot HSM includes both software- and hardware-accelerated cryptography options, as well as secure instruction and data memory controllers that provide confidentiality and authenticity for non-trusted memory accesses. The tRoot HSM's security features are complemented by a NIST-validated cryptography library and secure boot support. By providing the integrated and configurable tRoot HSM, Synopsys enables SoC designers to implement an area- and energy-efficient programmable root of trust that protects high-value targets against malware, tampering, and exploitation of communication protocols.

Truphone Io3 Platform

Truphone's Io3 platform greatly simplifies how devices connect to mobile networks. Its comprehensive and robust coverage includes multiple network operators for each region and provides access to all network types on demand. Global eSIM and remote SIM provisioning services enable secure, out-of-the-box mobile connectivity for all devices. Io3 is an open ecosystem providing bootstrap connectivity and services to enable seamless installation of any mobile operator profile.

Availability and Resources

The DesignWare tRoot HSM for iSIM is scheduled to be available in Q4 2018. Truphone's Io3 remote provisioning services are available now.
