Design suite accelerates embedded security implementations In 2019, Microchip Technology launched its Trust Platform for its CryptoAuthentication family, bringing the industry’s first pre-provisioned solutions for hardware-based secure elements to companies of every size needing a simple way to implement secure authentication. The company is further enhancing this service with the newest enhancements to its Trust Platform Design Suite (TPDS) — its dedicated software platform for device configuration and onboarding to its secure provisioning services for embedded security. TPDS version 2 (v2) software now allows the company's partners to add use cases to its rich security solutions onboarding ecosystem, further expanding developers’ already wide options for implementing best-in-class security. It now includes support for additional security solutions such as the TA100, the first cryptographic companion device for the automotive market.
