Board ID

Based on Renesas' proven smart card IC technology and our solid foundation of technology, products and support, the Board ID™ solution is a cost effective, easy to implement approach to drastically reduce risk in machine-to-machine (M2M) device implementation, while also opening new opportunities for revenue generation. Designed specifically for the M2M market, Renesas’ Board ID solutions build on the more than 20 years of security market expertise and our significant track record of deploying M2M authentication solutions.

In operation, the Board ID based solution makes M2M authentication a fast process. The host authenticates the Board ID chip via a communication link that does NOT have to be secured.When a valid peripheral or subsystem attempts a connection to the host, seven steps must be completed successfully before the host grants connectivity and access to an authorized device. The entire process takes place quickly - typically in a fraction of a second.
