Express Logic, Inc. and Cypherbridge Systems have teamed up on a new integrated, embedded cloud security solution. The Cypherbridge embedded secure Cloud Device Kit (CDK) for the Express Logic platform is designed to enable embedded devices to securely connect to the cloud using JSON and XMPP.
The new managed solution is aimed at a variety of vertical markets, including M2M, grid, commercial and residential energy management, telemetry, metering, SCADA, payment and gaming terminals. The CDK allows developers to easily connect to the cloud with secure embedded JSONs and XMPPs on their wired or wireless network platforms, using industry-proven uSSL SDK.
Although customers using traditional embedded HTML/Javascript servers may add HTTP security using the Cypherbridge uSSL SDK, growth of embedded client applications has necessitated new solutions to extend cloud interoperability to the embedded platform.
Offering embedded JSON or XMPP libraries as well as the uSSL SDK, the CDK is available with an optional Windows or Linux hosted gateway reference application. Cloud 2.0 protocols, including JSON and XMPP, offer a variety of benefits, including system interoperability, scaling and a fast time to market.
“Our partner Cypherbridge has landed significant design wins in major growth verticals including energy management and M2M systems,” said William E. Lamie, president of Express Logic. “Their Cloud Device Kit, integrated with Express Logic’s ThreadX RTOS and NetX TCP/IP stack, helps to bring secure devices online faster, and accelerate deployment of our RTOS platform into new markets.”
“We look forward as the Cloud Device Kit continues to build momentum in new vertical markets," said Steve Delaney, president of Cypherbridge. "This adds to our portfolio of secure solutions on Express Logic platforms, and we are proud to be an Express Logic Ecosystem Partner advancing the depth and breadth of offerings on this industry leading platform, which has seen more than 1.25 billion deployments to-date.”
The protocols also enable a device to transmit commands, status and record structured data across the network.
“The recently announced national cybersecurity policy calls on industry to implement standards and security protection for infrastructure devices," he added. "Our Cloud Device Kit combines standards-based cloud connectivity, plus a secure channel. This meets the surge in demand for connected devices and big data, while at the same time protects the device against cyber intrusion.”
