Compare BK Software vs. Unbound CORE Identity Security

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) introduces an increasingly complex threat landscape. As the number of connected devices continues to surge, it is crucial to establish strong identities as the cornerstone of trust, ensuring that security measures can be effectively implemented and expanded. BK offers a secure root key generation and management solution specifically designed for IoT security, enabling device manufacturers to provide their products with a unique identity generated internally, eliminating the need for expensive, security-focused silicon. Serving as a software implementation of SRAM PUF, BK stands out as the only hardware entropy source that can be integrated without requiring changes during silicon fabrication. This flexibility allows for its installation further along the supply chain and even enables retrofitting on devices that are already in use. Such capabilities facilitate an unprecedented remote implementation of a hardware root of trust, laying a solid foundation for scaling IoT infrastructure to accommodate billions of devices while maintaining security integrity. Consequently, BK not only addresses current security challenges but also positions the IoT ecosystem for sustainable growth in the future.

Ensure the authentication of users and devices while safeguarding your PKI across various locations and platforms. Establish secure virtual enclaves for both mobile and desktop environments, achieving the highest levels of security without compromising user experience. With the CORE virtual secure enclave SDK, access for users is authenticated and identified in a simple yet secure manner. Whether it’s mobile, desktop, or server-side, CORE guarantees the protection of credentials, even in instances where personal devices may be at risk. Leverage the flexibility of software to create virtual smartcards, secure mobile applications, and more. Seamlessly incorporate robust two-factor and multi-factor authentication into mobile applications without the need for hardware, one-time passwords, or software tokens. Transition from conventional smartcards to virtual ones for employee authentication, leading to reduced operational burdens and lower total ownership costs. Safeguard both machine and human electronic identities along with the root certificate authority that governs them, ensuring maximum protection for personally identifiable information while delivering an optimal user experience. This comprehensive approach allows organizations to enhance security measures while also streamlining operations effectively.
