Intelligent IoT

Low-Power, Trusted and Reliable Design for Smart Devices and Edge Gateways

Intelligent IoT brings sensing, edge processing and connectivity to more devices. Endpoints must balance power, cost and computing resources while addressing device identity, firmware updates, sensitive data and long-term reliability.

Foresemi provides on-device inference, cryptographic security, data-protection and reliability IP for smart devices, edge gateways and their chip platforms, helping teams address integration and security early in development.

Industry Context & Design Challenges

Connectivity Expands the Attack Surface

When sensors, gateways and control devices connect to the internet, risks extend beyond individual endpoints. Default credentials, exposed management interfaces and protocol flaws can expose sensitive data, enable device takeover or provide access to other systems through a gateway. Device identity, interface authorization and communication protection must extend from chips and firmware to gateways and cloud services, rather than relying on perimeter defenses alone.

Build Security into Hardware and Software Design

Low-power devices have limited storage, compute and communication resources, yet must accommodate boot verification, key storage, authentication and firmware updates. Decisions about local processing, gateway forwarding and offline operation belong in product selection and architecture design. Addressing weaknesses at these stages is generally more cost-effective than changing hardware or firmware after mass deployment.

From Pre-Release Testing to Field Maintenance

IoT devices are often widely distributed and remain in use for years. Vulnerabilities in vendor SDKs, drivers and open-source libraries may emerge after delivery. Code analysis, component identification and protocol testing help find issues earlier. After deployment, teams also need visibility into device versions, affected batches and patch status, with trusted updates to deliver fixes. Component inventories and version records avoid starting every investigation from scratch.

Requirements for Domestic and Export Markets

Projects in China need to assess cybersecurity and personal-information obligations against product functionality and operational roles. For EU exports, determine whether the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) requirements on network protection, privacy and fraud prevention apply to the device category, and consider the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requirements on security design and vulnerability handling for relevant digital products. Different device types require different compliance assessments.
