Allegro Secure IoT Suite

Embedded devices are increasingly connected to the Internet and called upon to communicate in meaningful ways with corporate IT servers. Allegro’s Secure IoT Suite offers a number of components to aid your engineering team in building powerful connected embedded devices using industry standard communications protocols. Embedded HTTP Client-Server Allegro offers technology specifically built for the embedded market to deliver HTTP server capabilities. Used in over 250 million devices, RomPager AE is the industry’s leading embedded Web Server in the market. Not far behind in distribution, RomWebClient AE provides powerful embedded HTTP client capabilities allowing your network-enabled M2M device to query remote servers for the latest information. Embedded XML Leverage 10+ man years of XML product development in your embedded design with the use of Allegro’s field-proven RomXML AE toolkit. Allegro’s RomXML AE toolkit addresses the primary need for embedded XML support by efficiently translating between pre-defined C-language structures and XML-based representations. When used in conjunction with the RomWebClient AE your embedded device can initiate XML-based request/response protocols such as Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). Embedded Web Services Increasingly, device manufacturers are faced with building complex communications technologies into their products. Allegro’s RomXOAP AE is a field-proven product that enables your embedded device to efficiently communicate with corporate IT servers or other embedded devices utilizing a range of protocols and industry standard formats. Command Line Interface (CLI) The Command Line Interface (CLI) is one of the most implemented forms of device management. Whether from a serial line or through a secure telnet connection via SSH Allego’s RomCLI AE offering speeds the implementation of Cisco IOS-style command line interfaces for your embedded device. Embedded TLS Client-Server TLS (Transport Layer Security) is used to create an authenticated and encrypted channel, often referred to as an encrypted tunnel, between two endpoints on an unsecured network. Allegro’s Secure Transport Layer toolkit (RomSTL) provides both Client and Server support for TLS in addition to DTLS capabilities. Embedded Certificate Management RomCert is a platform-independent implementation of the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) and makes embedding security certificate management into resource sensitive embedded systems and consumer electronics fast, easy and reliable while decreasing time to market. Embedded SSH Client-Server SSH provides encrypted communications between hosts over an insecure network. Allegro’s SSH embedded Client and Server (RomSShell AE) offers a range of client authentication options other than X.509 public-key certificates which require a fully functioning public key infrastructure. Cryptography Allegro’s Secure IoT Suite makes embedding standards-based security protocols into resource sensitive embedded systems and consumer electronics fast, easy and reliable. The Allegro Cryptography Engine (ACE) is a cryptographic library module specifically engineered to meet the critical needs of embedded computing systems in addition to fulfilling the requirements needed for FIPS 140-2 level 2 validation. The module provides embedded systems developers with a common software interface to enable bulk encryption and decryption, message digests, digital signature creation and validation, and key generation and exchange. Suite B is an advanced standard for cryptography that defines algorithms and strengths for encryption, hashing, calculating digital signatures, and key exchange. ACE includes a platform independent, government validated the implementation of the NSA Suite B defined suite of cryptographic algorithms. Secure IoT Suite Components:
