Tracking Use Case

This simple Use Case illustrates the benefits of using the strong security of a Renesas Security Chip vs. a traditional non-secure technology (EEPROM). It illustrates many of the key fundamentals of strong security for authentication applications. The other Use Cases build upon the information presented here

In this application, a system must verify that the device in question is an authorized one and perform an enforcement function; i.e., prohibit a connection or remove an unauthorized device. Secure Tracking enables a company to enforce commercial /distribution/ Maintenance policies made only possible on components from approved partners (rogue components, companies are rejected).

The Renesas Board ID solution is a effective way to securely implement a strong authentication to allow for example:

  • Secure Inventory tracking
  • Ensuring that warranty work and required maintenance is performed only for valid (genuine) units
  • Obtaining a verified system configuration database (e.g., to download proper drivers)
