ARM buys Leading IoT Security Company Offspark as it Expands its mbed Platform

Business Wire
ARM has signaled the importance of security in IoT with the
acquisition of Offspark, the IoT’s leading security software
company. Offspark, a Dutch company, specializes in IoT
communications security and its PolarSSL technology is already
deployed in a wide variety of devices including sensor modules,
communication modules and smartphones. As security is a requirement
for all IoT deployments, this will help developers using the ARM®
mbed™ platform to design and build IoT products with world-class
communication security and software cryptography.
PolarSSL is the IoT industry’s most pervasive embedded Transport
Layer Security (TLS) solution. It will form the core of the ARM
mbed communication security and software cryptography strategy and
will be rebranded as ARM mbed TLS. The technology will remain open
source and will be made available to developers for commercial
use.
“We have always said that security must be the foundation of any
IoT system and the acquisition of Offspark is evidence of us making
that happen,” said Krisztian Flautner, general manager, IoT
business, ARM. “PolarSSL technology is already deployed by the
leading IoT players. The fact that those same companies also
utilize ARM Cortex® processor and software technologies means we
are now able to provide a complete bedrock solution for the
industry to innovate from.”
“ARM is undeniably the front-runner in the embedded world and
combining with them is the perfect way of scaling our business,”
said Paul Bakker, CEO, Offspark. “Security is the most fundamental
aspect in ensuring people trust IoT technology and that is only
possible with a truly tailored solution. Together, ARM and Offspark
can provide security to the edge of any system and we look forward
to working with our partners to help them deliver some exciting new
projects.”
ARM mbed TLS will be available for standalone use and as part of
mbed OS, providing leading support for TLS and DTLS optimized for
embedded devices and complements the Cryptobox technology of mbed
OS that enables secure execution and storage. mbed TLS not only
targets embedded devices but will continue to expand with features
for the non-embedded arena as well. ARM will release mbed OS under
an Apache 2.0 license which will include mbed TLS, Thread, and
other key technologies toward the end of 2015.
The release of mbed TLS 1.3.10, is now available under GPL and
to existing PolarSSL customers on polarssl.org.
