Building security for Raspberry Pi with hardware approach using microSD and USB memory with built-in security features for industrial applications.
The Raspberry Pi makes it easy to build IoT environment systems. Its use is increasing from personal applications to industrial purposes (prototyping and products). However, to avoid security vulnerabilities in default usage, necessary security measures such as key creation and SSH authentication changes must be configured individually.
Swissbit has released security-encrypted microSD cards and small USB drives that can be used as dongles, featuring secure boot, access rights protection, and data protection for the Raspberry Pi. While the Raspberry Pi uses a microSD card for storage, even if the installed OS can be configured with foundation-supported security, it cannot protect the storage itself, saved data, or the constructed system. In a world overflowing with IoT devices, protecting the storage itself allows for a safer IoT environment to be easily established, mitigating the risk of unauthorized connections, communications, and hacking of the constructed devices.
■ Compatible models: Raspberry Pi 2, 3B+
■ PIN, authentication dongle (USB), network authentication (NET)
■ Protection starts with U-boot
