Microchip Technology is implementing IC authentication security developed by Intel into its chips for IoT applications.
The whole area of IoT where devices such as smart meters and health sensors are connected to the internet to transfer data has raised the concern of data security.
Many chip firms are implementing security techniques such as authentication and processor partitioning into their devices.
Intel’s device authentication technology called Enhanced Privacy ID is intended to allow a service provider when setting up a connection to an IoT device to verify that an end user is authorised to access the service.
For the user of the IoT device the EPID protocol should mean they do not need to reveal their identity to an internet service provider.
EPID supports two modes of signatures:
Fully anonymous: an EPID verifier cannot associate a given signature with a particular member of the group.
Pseudonymous: an EPID verifier has the ability to determine whether it has verified the platform previously.
