DeepCover Embedded Security in IoT: Public-key Secured Data Paths

Dependencies:   MaximInterface

The MAXREFDES155# is an internet-of-things (IoT) embedded-security reference design, built to authenticate and control a sensing node using elliptic-curve-based public-key cryptography with control and notification from a web server.

The hardware includes an ARM® mbed™ shield and attached sensor endpoint. The shield contains a DS2476 DeepCover® ECDSA/SHA-2 coprocessor, Wifi communication, LCD push-button controls, and status LEDs. The sensor endpoint is attached to the shield using a 300mm cable and contains a DS28C36 DeepCover ECDSA/SHA-2 authenticator, IR-thermal sensor, and aiming laser for the IR sensor. The MAXREFDES155# is equipped with a standard Arduino® form-factor shield connector for immediate testing using an mbed board such as the MAX32600MBED#. The combination of these two devices represent an IoT device. Communication to the web server is accomplished with the shield Wifi circuitry. Communication from the shield to the attached sensor module is accomplished over I2C . The sensor module represents an IoT endpoint that generates small data with a requirement for message authenticity/integrity and secure on/off operational control.

The design is hierarchical with each mbed platform and shield communicating data from the sensor node to a web server that maintains a centralized log and dispatches notifications as necessary. The simplicity of this design enables rapid integration into any star-topology IoT network to provide security with the low overhead and cost provided by the ECDSA-P256 asymmetric-key and SHA-256 symmetric-key algorithms.

More information about the MAXREFDES155# is available on the Maxim Integrated website.

+    
+    When manipulating socket options the level at which the option resides
+    and the name of the option must be specified.  To manipulate options at
+    the socket level, level is specified as SOL_SOCKET.  To manipulate
+    options at any other level the protocol number of the appropriate proto-
+    col controlling the option is supplied.  For example, to indicate that an
+    option is to be interpreted by the TCP protocol, level should be set to
+    the protocol number of TCP; 
+    
+    The parameters optval and optlen are used to access optval - 
+    ues for setsockopt().  For getsockopt() they identify a 
+    buffer in which the value for the requested option(s) are to 
+    be returned.  For getsockopt(), optlen is a value-result 
+    parameter, initially containing the size of the buffer 
+    pointed to by option_value, and modified on return to 
+    indicate the actual size of the value returned.  If no option 
+    value is to be supplied or returned, option_value may be
