Security Firmware Extensions | API

The Hyperstone firmware includes an API for Custom Firmware Extensions (CFEs). With this, you can implement added features without needing advanced flash management. CFEs are stored separately from the basic firmware. They can be developed independently and used with future updates, including new flash memory generations. The API provides access to embedded firmware features and interfaces for custom applications. You maintain full control over these features without disclosure. The API kit includes software, hardware, and detailed documentation.

See below examples of Swissbit security solutions that use the Hyperstone API or download the Hyperstone API White Paper today.

The microSD card iShield Camera is a simple and retrofittable security solution especially for the encryption and access protection of video recordings. It is host-independent, i.e. plug-and-play, and can be used with a large number of camera types. The solution also includes the “iShield Camera Card Tool” (iCCT) software.

The iShield hardware security module is a plug-and-play USB security anchor that allows system integrators to upgrade existing AWS IoT Greengrass devices with a hardware security module, making it the perfect retrofit solution for finished hardware designs & in-field devices. iShield HSM securely stores the device’s private key and certificate so that they aren’t exposed or duplicated in software.

iShield Archive is specifically designed to encrypt and protect any data. The microSD card can be used with any camera type and model, such as drones, body cams, dashcams, surveillance cameras or camera traps. The solution also includes the “iShield Archive Tool” (iAT) software.
