With the rapid development of IoT technology, security issues have increasingly become the focus of global attention. On September 12, 2024, the PSA IoT security seminar, co-hosted by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and ARM Technology (China) Co., Ltd., was successfully held in Beijing. This seminar focuses on the evolving security challenges in the development of the Internet of Things, shares PSA IoT security solutions and best practices, and discusses the new development trend of IoT security. The seminar invited more than 50 experts and scholars from chip companies, terminal companies, equipment manufacturing enterprises, security companies, operators, universities and other fields.

Speech by the Deputy Director of the CTTL-Terminal Labs of the CAICT, Guo Gan

Guo Gan, deputy director of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) Terminal Laboratory, attended the meeting and delivered a speech, Guo Gan said that with the vigorous rise of the Internet of Things, the security challenges of the Internet of Things are becoming more and more prominent, and the development of Internet of Things security at home and abroad attaches great importance to PSA certification in the field of Internet of Things security, and put forward suggestions for continuously strengthening the security technology of the Internet of Things, the coordinated development of the industry, and strengthening security testing and certification. The seminar was chaired by Yuan Qi, Director of the Mobile Security Department of the Thiel Terminal Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Information and Communications Technology.

Tian Chen, senior engineer of CAICT, introduced the security technology of IoT devices based on PSA, elaborated on the security testing and certification process and scheme of IoT devices based on PSA, shared common security issues in the process of chip security testing of IoT devices, demonstrated the comprehensive and advanced testing capabilities of Theil Terminal Laboratory in the field of IoT device security, and provided three progressive security assurance levels PSA certification services for chip and equipment manufacturers. Help IoT solution developers establish a secure chain of trust and security lifecycle based on the PSA Root of Trust (RoT) to promote the healthy development of the IoT industry.

Jiangshan Chen, Product Director of ARM Technology (China) Co., Ltd., shared PSA Ready IP and solutions, demonstrating how to quickly build high-security chips with PSA Ready IP to improve the security of IoT devices. Andy Powers, Senior Market Development Manager at Arm, provided a remote presentation on the regulatory and standard requirements for IoT devices in various countries, explaining how PSA Certified can help enterprises prepare for the upcoming security regulations in various countries.

Lu Zhihong, Marketing Director of Axera Edge Computing Product Line, Zhang Xianjun, Vice President of R&D of Torch Core Technology, and Liu Ming, an integrated security expert from Broadcom, shared their views on AI processors, IoT chip security design, and IoT security needs, solutions and challenges in the intelligent era, covering technical insights, industry best practices and successful cases in AI processors, chip security and IoT security.

In the final on-site discussion session, the enterprise experts carried out in-depth exchanges and communication with technical experts from ARM Technology, Axera, Torch Core Technology and Broadcom Integration with questions and challenges in practical applications, and jointly discussed key technologies such as PUF hardware root of trust, AIoT security, and PSA physical attack protection, which provided valuable ideas and directions for how PSA technology can empower the security development of the Internet of Things, and laid a solid foundation for the security guarantee of the Internet of Things in the future.

In the next step, CAICT will work together with the industry to further deepen international cooperation on IoT security certification, build a solid security foundation for the IoT industry, build a trust chain for the IoT industry, create a safe and reliable IoT ecosystem, and jointly promote the high-quality development of the IoT industry.
