NVM Defender is a pioneering hardware module focused on safeguarding integrated circuits from common invasive attacks that aim to extract non-volatile memory (NVM). This solution provides protection against unauthorized replication, emulation, cloning, and counterfeiting by being self-aware, detecting attacks instantly, and employing a structure that resists bypass attempts. NVM Defender ensures 'Security by Design,' offering a robust protective measure that chip makers and integrators can deploy to protect their intellectual assets seamlessly.
Throughout the years, Texplained has discovered that many components remain vulnerable to NVM code extraction. This necessity led to the development of the NVM Defender, a hardware-only countermeasure that strengthens security against such attacks. Unlike conventional solutions which often rely on software and may fail under comprehensive invasive attacks, NVM Defender's hardware-centric approach guarantees that even if the ICs architecture secrets are exposed, code extraction remains impractical.
The module not only serves to secure embedded software and cryptographic keys but also effectively safeguards personal data embedded within chips, making it a sought-after solution in today's security-conscious environment. NVM Defender stands out for being user-friendly and cost-effective while maintaining a high level of security that deters both physical and remote attempts of intrusion.
