IAR Systems launched a new version of its security development tool C-Trust. Version 1.30 adds a new Security Context Profile that automatically includes the configurations needed for basic device security and Intellectual Property (IP) protection. In addition, it also supports several devices from STMicroelectronics’ STM32F4 and L4 families, as well as NXP Semiconductors’ Kinetis K65 and K66 devices.

C-Trust works as an extension to the development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench and enables application developers to deliver secure, encrypted code. The tool now includes a ready-made Security Context Profile for IP protection that automatically includes all the necessary security and encryption settings for providing the application with a baseline protection against illegal access and copying. The application code is automatically mastered and encrypted using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

IAR Systems and Secure Thingz also offer the Security from Inception Suite, a set of tools including the Security Development Environment Embedded Trust, services and training to aid companies in ensuring they are successful in implementing the right level of security for their specific needs.
