An embedded application can contain several man years of development efforts. How are you protecting that IP investment? If you're not, the software is at risk of becoming stolen and copied, causing severe financial damage and posing an existential threat to your company.

By implementing foundation security measures such as encrypting the codebase and setting manufacturing limits, you can substantially reduce this risk. C-Trust is a security development tool that works as an extension to IAR Embedded Workbench and enables you to easily protect an existing or new application.

Key features

• Enables every application developer to deliver secure, encrypted code
• Security configuration profiles are easily imported without risk of being compromised
• Ready-made Security Context Profile for IP protection included
• Correct security and encryption settings are automatically enforced, enabling application developers to focus on the functionality of the application 
• The application code is automatically mastered and encrypted

It's easy adding C-Trust to an existing license of IAR Embedded Workbench. If you want to explore this possibility, or try out C-Trust, please get in touch with us.

Security Context

With C-Trust, you extend the capabilities of IAR Embedded Workbench to enable secure mastering based on a Security Context Profile. We provide pre-defined Security Context Profiles for you to get started developing secure applications. The Security Context defines the configuration of the trusted execution environment. It is a description of the security environment that is required to protect your application. The properties of the pre-defined Security Context Profile include:

• Cryptographic keys and certificates
• Secure Boot configuration
• Device security
• Application update process
• Update policy
• Device memory layout
