Kudelski IoT and Dolphin Design Unite to Accelerate Secure IP Projects   

Partnership strengthens protection against cyberattacks and safeguards intellectual property and trade secrets. 

Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland and Grenoble, France March 19, 2024 Kudelski IoT, a division of the Kudelski Group, a global leader in digital security and IoT solutions, together with DOLPHIN DESIGN, announce a collaboration aiming to simplify the development of highly secure ASIC and IP solutions for Edge devices, addressing the significant challenges of securing artificial intelligence (AI) at the Edge. Traditional microcontroller unit (MCU) designs are inadequate for the advanced data processing and security demands of AI models. The partnership introduces a paradigm shift in MCU design, essential for smart devices to improve performance by 1,000 times without increasing energy consumption. 

DOLPHIN DESIGN’s CHAMELEON platform, a versatile and pre-verified event-based MCU subsystem, now integrates Kudelski IoT’s Secure Enclave IP (KSE3). This integration offers a robust security layer, ensuring secure boot, firmware updates, identity management, and data protection. Additionally, the collaboration extends to Kudelski IoT’s KeySTREAM platform, providing a scalable « PKI as a Service » for secure lifecycle management of certificates and devices via a cloud-based application. 

This comprehensive solution enables customer designs to achieve SESIP L3 certification, catering to the automotive, industrial, and medical industries’ stringent security requirements. Kudelski IoT offers extensive support, including threat assessment, design consulting, and security reviews, making it a comprehensive security partner to these industries. 

“We have a very successful history of collaboration with Dolphin Design and are delighted to now announce the pre-integration of our respective IP and solutions to cover all of the security requirements now being requested in our important target markets” said Hardy Schmidbauer, SVP of Kudelski IoT. “The combined solution provides robust end-to-end security in Edge designs by relying on a separated security enclave and the Kudelski IoT KeySTREAM platform to protect the customer ASICs and designs while making it very simple to provision these on the production line and manage their security lifecycle.” 

« Security is an integral part of ensuring new designs comply with regulations such as ISO21434 and IEC62443 in the automotive and industrial sectors, » said Hakim Jaafar, VP of Marketing and Application Lab at DOLPHIN DESIGN. « By collaborating with Kudelski IoT, we provide an one-stop shop for manufacturers to meet these requirements and achieve compliance in an accelerated timeframe by using our combined solutions and services. »
