　　如何使用最新的微控制器来简化嵌入式安全

　　物联网（物联网）继续成为一个现实与设备连接到互联网每天数以百万计的基础上。由于这可能是令人兴奋的，与许多机会开放的创新，为物联网的设备和系统的开发人员面临着许多挑战，其中最关键的是确保他们的设备，并确保最终用户的隐私。值得庆幸的是，新的微控制器（MCU）的出现，大大简化了安全的任务，但这些功能只是不如开发商的能力使用他们。

　　这是有点令人惊讶的安全，一直是一个事后的许多开发商。这是一个错误，因为它奠定了家庭，车辆，制造业，零售业和关键基础设施易受攻击。然而，尽管历史不愿意解决安全，物联网现在迫使设计师更认真地考虑安全方面，因为他们开发嵌入式系统，幸运的是，他们发现他们不是单独解决它。

　　Makers and vendors of microcontrollers， that fundamental element of so many IoT systems and devices， now also recognize the importance of security and are building hooks into their hardware and software libraries that ease development and lighten the developer’s security burden.

　　A prime example is the Synergy Platform from Renesas Electronics America. This not only includes a series of ARM®-based microcontrollers such as the S1， S3 and S7 series， but an entire software package designed to give developers a jump start by providing drivers， an RTOS， middleware， frameworks and libraries right out of the box.

　　Included in the Synergy Software Package （SSP） is a security and encryption module that developers can leverage to properly secure their device. While it’s good to have these software components available， developers still need to understand how to apply these resources to the three primary elements of embedded security： authentication， integrity and availability.
