**Imagination Technologies and Sierraware Partner to Deliver Advanced Security Solutions**
**August 1, 2017 –** Imagination Technologies, a global leader in semiconductor intellectual property, has joined forces with Sierraware, a pioneer in virtualization and security technologies, to enable Sierraware’s SierraTEE to support devices based on Imagination’s MIPS CPU architecture. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in securing connected devices, particularly those leveraging the MIPS architecture.
SierraTEE introduces a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), which creates a secure, isolated area within a device to safeguard sensitive data during storage, processing, and transmission. By providing a dedicated and secure execution environment, the TEE ensures that only authorized security software operates within this domain, delivering end-to-end protection across various applications.
As embedded networked devices grow increasingly diverse, the need for robust security measures becomes paramount. SierraTEE is designed to address these demands, supporting a broad spectrum of devices currently in the market, ranging from smartphones and set-top boxes to home gateways, servers, and industrial automation systems.
Gopal Jayaraman, President and CEO of Sierraware, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “The demand for our technology continues to expand as more applications and architectures emerge. By enabling SierraTEE to work seamlessly with MIPS-based devices, we’re offering developers a straightforward yet powerful tool to enhance device security. Developers familiar with Global Platform applications can continue using their existing code without modification.â€
Jim Nicholas, Executive Vice President of MIPS Processor IP at Imagination Technologies, echoed this sentiment: “SierraTEE leverages our OmniShield technology, which supports MIPS-based networking equipment. We’ve witnessed a strong market presence for MIPS, particularly in sectors like set-top boxes, TVs, and automotive. Sierraware is an ideal collaborator due to their established reputation and proven solutions. By integrating hardware-based virtualization into the TEE, manufacturers gain the ability to deliver unprecedented levels of system security and isolation.â€
SierraTEE offers a streamlined, secure solution tailored for MIPS CPUs equipped with OmniShield technology. Built on Imagination’s advanced security architecture, the MIPS CPU’s hardware virtualization capabilities facilitate the creation of multiple secure domains. Within this framework, SierraVisor ensures the isolation of concurrent guest operating systems, while the integration of SierraVisor and Sierraware’s TEE ensures seamless functionality in virtualized environments.
Currently available for MIPS architecture adopters, SierraTEE is already being integrated by authorized customers. This solution not only protects sensitive data but also enhances the overall security posture of devices across industries.
