Secure by Design Leveraging Partnership with PHYTEC and NXP Semiconductors for Hardware Secured at the Root Foundational Security for Embedded Systems
Secure by Design with PHYTEC & NXP. This whitepaper from PHYTEC and NXP Semiconductors details a “Secure by Design” approach to protecting embedded systems in an era of rising cybercrime. By integrating foundational hardware security—such as Secure Boot and EdgeLock® technology—directly at the chip and board levels, developers can establish a robust Chain of Trust that safeguards intellectual property and ensures long-term regulatory compliance.
TOPICS COVERED
- Establishing a Hardware Root of Trust and Chain of Trust
- NXP EdgeLock®: Integrated vs. Discrete Security Elements
- Secure Production Management and Lifecycle Maintenance
- Achieving Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Technical Compliance
PHYTEC and NXP deliver hardware‑rooted security with Secure Boot, encrypted storage, and lifecycle protection for embedded systems.
As the global cost of data breaches reaches record highs, the “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” mentality has become a liability for connected devices. This guide demonstrates how to replace reactive patching with proactive resilience by building security from the ground up. Leveraging NXP’s physically siloed security enclaves and PHYTEC’s production-ready modules, engineers can implement multilayered defenses including hardware-level encryption, tamper detection, and secure over-the-air updates. These pre-integrated solutions not only shield sensitive data from physical and remote attacks but also streamline the path to meeting stringent European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requirements. By adopting these foundational principles, organizations can focus on their product’s unique features while maintaining absolute confidence in the security, stability, and lifecycle maintenance of their deployed fleets.
