Complete cloud security solution protects IoT devices from cyber-attack

September 27, 2026

The OPTIGA™ Trust M tamper-resistant security solution from Infineon is based on Common Criteria EAL6+ certified hardware. The secure element can be used with any MCU or application processor to enhance the security of IoT designs.

The OPTIGA Trust M from Infineon is a high-end security solution which provides an anchor of trust for connecting IoT devices to the cloud, giving every IoT device its own unique identity. This individual, turnkey solution offers secure, zero-touch onboarding and the high performance needed for quick cloud access. 

 

The OPTIGA Trust M chips and supporting software offer a wide range of security features. In particular, there is support for common asymmetric cryptography algorithms including:  

  • RSA® up to 2048  
  • AES key up to 256, HMAC up to SHA512  
  • TLS v1.2 PRF and HKDF up to SHA512 

 

The turnkey set-up with full system integration minimizes the design, integration and deployment effort required from product manufacturers. The OPTIGA Trust M development process is certified according to the security standard IEC 62443-4-1 for industrial automation and control systems, acting as an enabler to achieve component-level certification according to IEC 62443-4-2. 

 

The OPTIGA Trust M is specified in two operating-temperature ranges: 

  • SLS32AIA010MK at a standard temperature range of -25°C to 85°C for most commercial implementations 
  • SLS32AIA010ML at an extended temperature range of -40°C to 105°C for harsh industrial environments 

 

The OPTIGA Trust M chip is supplied in a USON-10 package that has a footprint of 3 mm x 3 mm.  

Features

  • ECC cryptography:  
    • NIST curves up to P-521 
    • Brainpool r1 curve up to 512 
  • Hibernate mode for zero power consumption 
  • Open-source host code available on GitHub under MIT license 
  • Up to 10 kbytes of memory 
    • Protected updates 
    • Usage counters 
    • Dynamic object locking 
  • Configurable device security monitor 

Applications

  • Smart lighting 
  • Smart home 
  • Building automation 
  • Industrial robotics 
  • Programmable logic controllers  
  • Motor drives 
  • Drones

TRUSTMV3SHIELDTOBO1 TRUST-M-SHIELD

BC_Infineon_TRUSTMV3SHIELDTOBO1

The OPTIGA™ Trust M Shield provides a hardware platform for assessing the OPTIGA™ Trust M security solution in embedded security applications. The shield is designed for use with compatible microcontroller development boards and exposes the OPTIGA Trust M interface over I2C, allowing evaluation of secured key storage, cryptographic operations, and device authentication workflows.

 

The board supports testing of asymmetric and symmetric cryptographic functions, secured certificate handling, and protected communication channels used in IoT and industrial systems. It allows engineers to evaluate hardware root of trust integration without modifying an existing application board design.

 

The evaluation shield is suitable for examining manufacturing-time provisioning, device-to-cloud authentication, and lifecycle security use cases. It supports interaction with Infineon software libraries and middleware for secured communication, enabling validation of OPTIGA™ Trust M behavior during development, onboarding, and field operation scenarios.
