ARMv8-M Architecture Simplifies Security for Smart Embedded Devices

CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ARM has driven security for devices based on ARM Cortex®-M processors into the hardware layer to ensure developers have a fast and efficient way of protecting any embedded or Internet of Things (IoT) device. This is achieved with ARM TrustZone technology, now available as a feature within the latest ARMv8-M architecture being launched today at ARM TechCon 2015. TrustZone helps secure data, firmware, and peripherals by creating separate trusted and non-trusted states across the processor system.
