Geneva, November 29, 2019: – Swiss-based cybersecuity company WISeKey and Tatwah, a market leader in designing and manufacturing secure RFID tags and Bluetooth Low Energy beacons, have announced the release of the world’s first secure IoT beacon device.
According to an announcement, the IoT Security Beacon embeds the Bluetooth 5 RSL10 System-in-Package (RSL10 SIP) from ON Semiconductor. The all-in-one solution is fully certified to worldwide regulatory standards, and offers Bluetooth 5 features while maintaining the industry’s lowest power in standby and active modes.
The Secure IoT Beacon features two certified tamper-resistant microcontrollers- the VaultIC405 and VaultIC407 from WISeKey- that allow the RSL10 SIP to securely store digital certificates. These certificates are used for the Secure IoT Beacon to process the cryptographic algorithms required to build the security protocol, while protecting sensitive data and calculations against hackers.
