Developing a connected embedded device based on a Linux® distribution is never going to be easy.

I've worked in tech for years but never fully grasped how secure connections form. The term "security" used to unsettle me .

This post describes new additions to the FoundriesFactory® backend and Fioctl®, which allow for adding several signatures to your updates metadata.

Any embedded computing system-on-module (SoM) designed for the Linux® operating system (OS) typically provides multiple high-speed wired and wireless interfaces.

Since its inception almost five years ago, the Linux microPlatform™ has been leveraging secure boot and the PKCS#11 API for securely storing and managing IoT Keys and Certificates.

This blog post could be summarized with just one Fioctl® command to rotate all your Factory TUF keys. Read more to see why it is so important, and how it came to be a "one button" solution.

The application of a small label to consumer products can lead to big changes in consumer behavior.

IoT is broken as an industry and will not fulfill its potential until there are structural changes to the ecosystem.

Key rotation limits information being exposed or unknowingly compromised, and it also ensures that systems are more resilient in inevitable breaches.

The moral of the story you’re about to read is that there are two ways to implement Secure Boot in an embedded device running a Linux® operating system: the really hard way, or a much easier way.
