Trust Platform Design Suite enhanced to accelerate embedded security Microchip has announced a series of enhancements to its Trust Platform Design Suite (TPDS) - its dedicated software platform for device configuration and onboarding to Microchip secure provisioning services for embedded security. First unveiled in 2019, this latest version - TPDS version 2 (v2) - now enables Microchip partners to add use cases to its security solutions onboarding ecosystem, expanding developersâ options for implementing best-in-class security. It now also includes support for additional security solutions such as the TA100, the first cryptographic companion device for the automotive market. While it can take an experienced firmware engineer months to specify an applicationâs threat model and develop a security use case that encompasses all necessary measures related to secure authentication, secure boot, IP protection, and more, the TPDS software simplifies this process by providing pre-defined use cases addressing the most common market requirements.
