Expanded IoT security through Silicon Labs' groundbreaking PSA Level 4 certification, a first in the industry.
In a significant leap forward for IoT security, Silicon Labs' Series 3 Secure Vault has become the world's first IoT security system to achieve the prestigious PSA Level 4 certification. This landmark achievement signifies a new era of robust security for connected devices.
The Series 3 Secure Vault, built on a 22 nm process node, offers a highly secure, resilient, and future-proof security foundation. It is engineered to withstand advanced physical attacks such as laser fault injection, side-channel attacks, microprobing, and voltage manipulation, providing protection against both present and emerging threats.
The Secure Vault's future-proofing design ensures that it remains secure for over a decade in the field, providing resilience against not only current but also future attack vectors that are not yet common. This longevity is coupled with a security lifecycle approach that supports ongoing security maintenance and threat mitigation, treating security as an evolving process rather than a one-time setup.
The Secure Vault's capabilities help product developers comply with global security regulations such as the EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED), Cybersecurity Resilience Act (CRA), US Cyber Trust Mark, and others, facilitating market readiness and consumer trust worldwide.
Silicon Labs collaborated with Keysight Technologies to validate the Secure Vault on Series 3 for PSA Level 4. Keysight Technologies' experts noted a seamless partnership with Silicon Labs' engineering team.
The SiXG301 SoC, expected to be the first Series 3 device to market with PSA Level 4 certification when it becomes generally available in Q3 2025, will benefit from this enhanced security foundation. All Series 3 devices are planned to feature this industry-leading security.
Silicon Labs provides solutions, support, and ecosystems needed to create advanced edge connectivity applications. The company, headquartered in Austin, Texas, and with operations in over 16 countries, stands ready to help device makers align with emerging global regulations such as the EU's Radio Equipment Directive (RED) and CRA, the US Cyber Trust Mark, and Singapore's Cybersecurity Labeling Scheme (CLS).
Developers can register for an upcoming webinar, "Stay Ahead of Global IoT Security Regulations with Silicon Labs," to learn how to integrate RED-ready security into their products. Silicon Labs is the trusted partner for innovative solutions in the smart home, industrial IoT, and smart cities markets.
