The Trusted Platform 

CURIOSITY platform was designed to provide professionals  with  maximum flexibility for creating sophisticated applications on top of advanced external security elements.  Based on years of expertise in the  security arena, the experts at Francisco Ventures strongly recommend  the use of several security elements simultaneously (otherwise known as the “don’t put all of your eggs in one basket” philosophy)

NXP SmartLock SE050 – Secure element with Common Criteria EAL 6+ certification. The chip allows end-to-end encrypted communication, supports both RSA & ECC asymmetric cryptographic algorithms with high key length and future proof ECC curves and provides hardware based key storage.

NXP A1006 – Hardware based secure authenticator. Provides secure device identity for the CURIOSITY hardware, loaded with a static pair of ECC Private Keys and includes dedicated hardware to protect against reverse engineering attacks. 

Infineon OPTIGA MSLS32AIA – Security controller with Common Criteria EAL 6+ certification, I2C interface with Shielded Connection (encrypted communication).  Cryptographic support: ECC NIST P256/P384, SHA-256, TRNG – true random number generator, DRNG – digital random number generator, RSA® 1024/2048. Device Security Monitor which enforces the security policy of chip.
