NXM TrustStar is an IoT supply chain security product designed to prevent supply chain attacks targeting chips and firmware, without requiring secure elements or Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). Key capabilities include: - Cloud-based verification service that validates IoT devices are using security-certified SoCs (System-on-Chips) and OEM-authorized firmware only. - Establishes root security directly on TrustZone-capable ARM Cortex-M and Cortex-A chips, removing the dependency on discrete secure elements. - Partners with authorized secure chip flashers to provide tamper-proof firmware installation. - Push-button firmware-release authorization that automatically triggers the firmware update process. - Firmware anti-cloning protection to prevent the production of counterfeit or knock-off products. - Allows OEMs to recover compromised firmware signing keys to block unauthorized firmware releases. - Enables retraction of previously released firmware and forced updates to newer releases. - Controls manufacturing production levels to prevent contract manufacturers from overproducing and creating gray markets, without requiring HSMs. - Integrates with the NXM Embedded Development platform for CI/CD pipeline compatibility.
