Winbond Electronics wins "2020 ASPENCORE World Electronics Achievement Awards" -Macnica

Winbond Electronics Co., Ltd., a leading global supplier of semiconductor memory solutions, announced on November 9, 2020 that TrustME(R) W77Q Secure Flash Memory was selected by ASPENCORE analysts and the global user community at the 2020 ASPENCORE World Electronics Achievement. Awards (WEAA) and announced that it won the "Best Product of the Year Award".

The W77Q secure flash memory is an innovative concept that allows standard SPI NOR flash memory to be "drop-in replaced", with secure storage, secure boot, "root-of-trust", and fault tolerance (platform resiliency). protection, anomaly detection and recovery), powerful Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) and device authentication functions can be added on. W77Q hardens IoT devices and provides “end-to-end” security by enabling the following features accordingly:

● Secure data storage that authenticates and encrypts data transfer between flash memory and host

● Secure boot and “Root-of-Trust” capable of securely fetching boot code and application code (eXecution-in-Place)

● A fault-tolerant security function (platform resiliency) that integrates protection, anomaly detection, and recovery

● Assuming that the processor or SoC that directly hosts the memory may be hacked, build an “End-to-End” secure channel between the remote server and W77Q to securely update the firmware (aka FOTA)

Winbond Electronics is proud that ASPENCORE has chosen W77Q as the industry's best secure flash memory.

The W77Q Secure Flash Memory provides all the essentials for a secure and resilient IoT without requiring any fundamental redesign of your platform. The W77Q series comes in industry standard packages and pinouts and features a standard single/dual/quad/QPI serial peripheral interface (SPI). In other words, it is a simple replacement for standard SPI NOR flash memory (non-secure) provided by many memory vendors.
