Project Groups
Trusted Supply Chain
The objective of the project is to define how security gets built in a distributed and commoditized supply chain, from the silicon foundry to the Silicon vendor, the chipset distributor, to the ODM, the OEM, the VAR and the integrator, and finally the customer. The project aims to define the requirements of the underlying technology to achieve security and trust in that supply chain.
Pre-Silicon Security
The objective of this project is to define all the requirements to develop secure devices, including the verification of silicon for malware and security traps. The project aims to target the security requirements to specific use cases and risk scenarios.
Silicon as a Service
The objective of this project is to define the security requirements for the silicon industry to enable and disable silicon functions on demand after the devices are rolled out in the marketplace.
Identity
The objective of the project is to define how identity can be expressed throughout the IoT marketplace. Identity of an entity is verified through attestation of claims. The projects aims to define requirements for the representation of claims and their attestation.
