and is well positioned to address the heightened need for security in today's connected products. Renesas offers multiple approaches to embedded security, providing a multi-tiered development infrastructure that provides comprehensive security protection for a wide variety of embedded products. The Renesas Synergy™ Platform is a comprehensive, qualified development platform that includes production-grade software in the form of the Synergy Software Package (SSP), and a scalable family of pin-compatible MCUs, pre-integrated and pre-tested to provide security at multiple levels. The Synergy platform ensures that IoT applications are built on a secure, robust technology foundation. In addition, the new Renesas RA family of MCUs delivers an option with more platform flexibility, combining Arm Cortex-M cores and best-in-class embedded system peripheral IP from Renesas. The RA's Flexible Software Package (FSP) provides optimized hardware abstraction layer (HAL) drivers as well as a baseline software platform built on FreeRTOS and associated middleware. Designed for flexibility, developers can easily incorporate their middleware and libraries of choice. The Synergy platform and RA MCUs both contain an integrated crypto subsystem called the Secure Crypto Engine (SCE). The SCE provides hardware acceleration for the most prevalently used cryptographic algorithms as well as key generation and a True Random Number Generator (TRNG). Both the Synergy platform and the RA FSP support public key infrastructure (PKI). Developers also need to ensure that their development platform makes it safe and easy to connect to the cloud. The Synergy SSP delivers support for cloud connectivity with built-in MQTT and TLS modules, and the Synergy cloud connectivity applications provide secure, built-in connectivity to leading cloud environments, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. The RA FSP provides similar functionality, leveraging Arm ecosystem software. | 4 | | 22 | Delivering comprehensive, in-depth security protection for connected applications requires integrated technologies that work together to provide defenses at multiple levels. Renesas helps embedded developers meet the challenges of securing connected devices by offering numerous ways to secure devices, services and networks at a deep level. Renesas offers multiple MCUs that address the concerns discussed in this white paper. Please visit our website to learn more. Conclusion
