Asset Summary:
Edge AI systems often operate in environments where devices, data and models can be exposed to
physical access, network threats and long service lifecycles. That makes trust a core design requirement
for AI-enabled industrial, robotics and autonomous systems.
Avnet’s edge AI resources bring together solution papers, market insights and supplier partner content
to help design engineers evaluate real-world constraints in production-ready systems.
One featured resource is the Renesas and Avnet paper,
Building Trustworthy Edge AI Systems in an
Untrusted World, which looks at how hardware-based security supports secure model deployment,
firmware integrity and data protection at the edge.
In the paper, engineers will find:
- Why fielded edge AI systems need security from the start
- How cryptographic engines support encryption and authentication
- The role of secure boot in protecting firmware integrity
- How secure and non-secure execution can isolate critical operations
- Why hardware-based trust matters for AI, robotics and autonomous systems
- Design considerations for devices expected to operate in the field for years
For teams developing edge AI products, the paper provides practical context for building trust into
systems before deployment.
