Telecommunications
Carrier networks and edge-routing equipment are strengthened by hardware Roots of Trust.
Infrastructure that carries everyone else
Distributed estates
Base stations and edge nodes sit in unattended locations, often for years between site visits.
Multi-vendor networks
Equipment comes from many suppliers. A common trust model is the only way to verify them consistently.
Subscriber data
Call records and traffic metadata sit on drives in data centers that need protection at rest.
Where Trusted Computing Makes a Difference
Device Identity at Scale
5G Edge Nodes
Multi-Vendor Estates
Baseline Restoration
Call Detail Records
Remote Attestation
Device Identity at Scale
Embed unique identities in routers and base-station controllers to enable encrypted backhaul and remote attestation.
5G Edge Nodes
Provide a lightweight Root of Trust for small-form-factor nodes and customer-premises equipment.
Multi-Vendor Estates
Run automated firmware integrity checks across equipment from different suppliers, using a common model.
Baseline Restoration
Return network appliances to a secure firmware baseline after a compromise, without truck rolls.
Call Detail Records
Protect subscriber records on self-encrypting drives inside carrier data centers.
Remote Attestation
Let central systems verify the software state of distributed network equipment continuously.
The trusted computing stack behind Telecommunications
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
TPMs embed unique device identities in routers and base-station controllers, facilitating encrypted backhaul and remote attestation.
Device Identifier Composition Engine (DICE)
DICE offers a lightweight RoT for small-form-factor 5G nodes or customer-premises equipment (CPE).
Cyber Resilient Technologies (CyRes)
CyRes capabilities ensure network appliances recover to secure firmware baselines after compromise.
Storage Security
TCG's Storage Core Specification secures call-detail records on self-encrypting drives within datacenters.
Reference Integrity Manifest (RIM)
FIM/RIM enables automated integrity checks on firmware across multi-vendor equipment.
