Trust for the Smart Grid: Dr. Neuhaus Telekommunikation Secures Communication Gateways With NXP's A-Series Device ID Solution
EINDHOVEN, THE NETHERLANDS and HAMBURG, GERMANY, Oct 10, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) has been selected by Dr.
Neuhaus Telekommunikation GmbH, a leading supplier in industrial and
M2M communication systems, to provide high-security chips for smart
grid communication gateways. Joining forces with NXP, Dr. Neuhaus is
able to meet the most advanced smart grid security requirements in
the industry.
NXP's A-series is specifically designed to deliver the security,
performance and long operational life required in the smart grid. It
enables strong authentication to the cloud and secure remote
management of smart metering systems, while assuring the integrity
and confidentiality of data exchanged between head-end systems and
metering equipments. The security modules integrate hardware
cryptographic accelerators and support a broad range of symmetric as
well as asymmetric (public key) cryptographic cipher suites and
protocols, enabling compliance to widely used standards such as TLS
and DLMS-COSEM in a turnkey solution.
The A-series builds upon NXP's long-time expertise in security
technology, as well as its leading positions in the overall
identification market and key market segments including eGovernment,
banking, public transport and mobile transactions. It leverages the
advanced IntegralSecurity(TM) architecture of NXP's SmartMX(TM)
high-security microcontrollers with more than 100 security features
to protect the cryptographic keys and computations, as one of the
elements of end-to-end system security. NXP has shipped more than one
billion SmartMX chips to its customers including 86 out of 102
countries with ePassport projects and leading financial institutions
worldwide.
''NXP's security modules has been very easily and successfully
integrated into our product. We chose NXP as our security partner
because of its leadership in security and device authentication and
we are now very excited to provide a robust, secure and innovative
communication platform for the next Smart Grid projects," said Ludger
Boeggering, director of product marketing at Dr. Neuhaus
Telekommunikation.
"NXP is the security partner of choice for governments, organizations
and companies worldwide, bringing security to all aspects of the
smart life," said Sami Nassar, general manager, Authentication
product line, NXP Semiconductors. "As millions of devices get
connected to the cloud, cyber security has become a growing concern
for many utilities, infrastructure manufacturers and automation
technology suppliers. NXP has the right solutions at hand, providing
advanced turnkey security solutions for embedded applications."
The communication gateway secured by NXP enables flexible wide-area
communication via a range of communication technologies, using power
line (PLC), DSL/LAN, WLAN networks or mobile networks (GPRS). Dr.
Neuhaus will first deploy its gateway solution for a smart metering
project in Belgium. The technology will be showcased in the NXP booth
(Hall 1, F30) as well as the Dr. Neuhaus booth (Hall 1, C08a) at the
14th annual Metering, Billing/CRM Europe event in Amsterdam, to
demonstrate how authentication technology will be used to secure
critical components of smart grid infrastructure.
