Guardant - IoT and hardware

Protection and licensing of embedded systems and hardware and software complexes

 

 

Tasks being solved

Stack of Guardant technologies and products for the protection, licensing and management of equipment, Internet of Things devices, as well as software embedded in them.

 

Building a sales model

Easy installation of the required license restrictions for each of the functionality. Quick launch of sales using new business models(subscription, with payment for actual use, etc.) for flexible pricing and entry into new markets.

 

Firmware protection

Reliable protection of software and data from hacking, copying and circumvention of license restrictions by storing and executing part of the firmware in the protected memory of the hardware module.

 

Protection of machine-to-machine interaction

Ensuring the security of equipment interaction with external systems through encryption and digital signature. Reliable storage of encryption keys that never leave their carrier eliminates the possibility of disclosure and forgery of important information.

 

Remote management

Possibility to remotely control the functionality of the device and deliver updates in online and offline modes for protected executable code.

 

Licensing and control of functionality

Flexible configuration of the license restrictions of the functionality without changing the source code of the product. Optimization and unification of production. Simplification of the process of selling additional functionality to existing users.

 

Advantages

 

Cross-platformness

Possibility to work on any platform and in any operating system

 

Comprehensiveness

Use of both hardware and software protection and licensing tools

 

Ease of integration

Single module with easy integration and flexible configuration options

 

High level of protection

Ensuring security due to the possibility of transferring part of the vendor's software code inside the protected device and access to hardware-implemented cryptography
