The Hardware Difference
KoolSpan’s TrustChip® is a fully hardened, self-contained security engine. Because it is deployed in its own optimized hardware environment, KoolSpan’s high-performance mobile device security solution remains insulated from threats that can reside in mobile devices and other platforms.
TrustChip is designed around an industry standard microSD form factor. The TrustChip takes advantage of existing interface support for microSD built into a wide variety of every day devices including smartphones.TrustChip provides on-chip key management, authentication and encryption key generation to provide a hardware-anchor to TrustChip-aware applications. It only requires power from the host device. TrustChip mobile device security features include:
- Hardened self-contained security
- 32-bit processor at its core
- Application independent
- Multi-application support
- Operating System independent
- Device independent
- Network independent
- Remotely manageable
KoolSpan’s TrustChip provides an end-to-end mobile protection – from the originating device, through the network, to the destination device. This can be visualized as a two-way secure tunnel that encrypts and mutually authenticates traffic regardless of vulnerabilities in underlying networks. KoolSpan’s hardware-based TrustChip works in combination with the software-based TDK for encryption processing. This unique hardware and software combination provides the best in security strength and operational flexibility.
