“ASPEED’s AST2600 Server Management Processor is equipped with a secure trust zone to enable silicon-based root of trust”
SEC-TPM is a Trusted Computing Group (TCG) compliant Firmware TPM (fTPM), rooted in the AST2600’s secure hardware execution enclosure. It enables greater supply chain security for server hardware via a post-assembly trust provisioning and attestation service.
SEC-TPM for AST2600, integrated with the SecEdge Security Platform, introduces several disruptive benefits for cloud computing.
- Secures OpenBMC by providing a hardware-based root-of-trust.
- Enables in-field, zero-touch activation of the AST2600 embedded TPM, even in an untrusted supply chain environment.
- Establishes IPSEC communication channels from the AST2600 to the cloud, separating data and management planes.
- Remote life cycle management of servers is secured with IP Masking.
- The solution is future-proof through crypto-agility, enabling quantum-resistant algorithms.
“ASPEED’s AST2600 Server Management Processor is equipped with a secure trust zone to enable silicon-based root of trust”, said Luke Chen, Sales VP of ASPEED Technology. “SecEdge Digital security platform advances turnkey digital security protection for server management by using TrustZone™ in ASPEED’s BMC SoCs.”
