Leading semiconductor manufacturer, Nuvoton, has partnered with pioneering cybersecurity business, Trustonic, to strengthen the capability of its advanced NuMicro® MA35 series MPU.
Established in 2008, Nuvoton was founded to bring innovative semiconductors to market and has since evolved into a leading name in the provision of microcontroller application integrated circuits (ICs), audio application ICs and cloud & computing ICs.
To strengthen the security of the solution, the Trusted Secure Island (TSI) of Nuvoton’s NuMicro MA35 series integrates Trustonic’s Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), Kinibi.
Having obtained the World’s first comprehensive EAL5+ certification in 2022, ‘Kinibi’ is now deployed to nearly 3 billion smart devices and 20 million vehicles globally, with zero safety violations. Its integration in the NuMicro MA35 series creates a secure environment that drives Protection, Detection, and Recovery for IoT products, including EV chargers.
Walter Tseng, Vice President of the Microcontroller Business Group at Nuvoton, explained: “Our partnership with Trustonic represents a significant milestone in Nuvoton’s commitment to providing industry-leading security for the industrial IoT market. By integrating the EAL5+ certified Kinibi TEE into our NuMicro MA35 series, we are providing our customers with a robust, hardware-backed security foundation. This collaboration ensures that critical industrial applications—from edge gateways to smart factory automation—are protected against evolving cyber threats through a dedicated ‘Protection, Detection, and Recovery’ framework, all while maintaining the high performance our users expect.”
Andrew Till, General Manager of Secure Platform for Trustonic, added: “Nuvoton’s MA35 platform is designed for high-performance edge applications, and security is critical to its success. Integrating Kinibi provides a proven Trusted Execution Environment that protects sensitive operations and enables manufacturers to build secure, scalable industrial IoT solutions with confidence.”
