Dialog (Kirchheim-unter-Teck, Germany) is using the Intrinsic-ID technology to ensure that only authenticated software can run on the SC14453S, Voice over IP, platform. A message authentication tag for a bootloader or software image of a particular customer is stored with the Intrinsic-ID core, without the need for embedded non-volatile memory, which would be a hacking weakness.
via Dialog signs up to use Intrinsic-ID on-chip security.
