Infineon Brings Certified Security to Computing and Emerging IoT Applications: OPTIGA™ TPM 2.0 First to Receive Common Criteria Certification

Munich, Germany – September 25, 2015 – Certified security solutions from Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) enable protection of data, devices and networks in both mainstream computing and the emerging Internet of Things (IoT). The leader in Trusted Computing today announced that its OPTIGA™ TPM (Trusted Platform Module) based on the latest TPM 2.0 standard is the first such device to comply with internationally recognized computer security requirements. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) certified the device according to Common Criteria EAL4+. The Common Criteria certification is an independent third party process that helps system and device manufacturers select trustworthy solutions. With Common Criteria certification, Infineon is first in the industry to support the forward-looking requirement that Windows 10 personal computers be equipped with TPM 2.0. This most recent version of the internationally recognized TPM standard (ISO/IEC 11889:2015) also addresses the security requirements of a growing number of IoT devices. Trusted computing based on TPM root of trust hardware provides robust protection for such devices as gateways and routers used in smart homes, mobile devices as well as connected industrial and automotive systems. Google’s new OnHub Wi-Fi router, Microsoft’s Surface™ Pro 3 tablet and many other platforms take advantage of Infineon OPTIGA TPM devices. “Infineon has already provided embedded security to more than 350 million connected devices”, said Juergen Spaenkuch, head of platform security at Infineon Technologies. “Being the first supplier of a Common Criteria-certified TPM 2.0 device underlines our market and innovation leadership and opens the doors to new markets.
