City of Industry, Calif., August 29th, 2024 – Axiomtek, a world-renowned leader relentlessly devoted to the research, development, and manufacture of innovative and reliable industrial computer products of high efficiency, is pleased to announce the partnership with SecEdge, a leader in digital security for IoT and Edge devices. This collaboration introduces SecEdge's advanced SEC-TPM™ Edge AI security solution to Axiomtek's NVIDIA Jetson-enabled AIE series platforms, significantly boosting the security framework of these high-performance AI computing systems.
As an NVIDIA Preferred Partner, Axiomtek has been in close collaboration with NVIDIA to drive AI innovation at the edge. Axiomtek’s AIE series platforms excel in delivering top-tier AI processing capabilities ideal for industrial uses. With the integration of SecEdge’s SEC-TPM, the industry's first firmware-level Trusted Platform Module (fTPM) solution coupled with a secure provisioning service for the NVIDIA Jetson Edge AI and Robotics Platform, Axiomtek’s Jetson Orin-based edge AI systems now offer robust AI model protection at the edge while reducing BOM costs.
The SEC-TPM solution brings several benefits:
AI Model Protection
AI Models represent a large investment in intellectual property that must be protected from corruption or theft. Protecting AI at the edge presents a unique set of challenges. SEC-TPM protects AI models at rest and maintains AI model integrity with secure remote management. SEC-TPM is fully integrated with SecEdge’s SEC-VPN which provides secure tunnels for AI Model data in transit.
Device Integrity
Device integrity is ensured with trust provisioning and management of SEC-TPM, a Firmware Trusted Platform Module (fTPM), eliminating the need for a discrete TPM chip or secure manufacturing facility.
Multi-Tenant Secure Device Access
The solution enables secure connectivity across applications with independent IPSec tunnels, e.g., a traffic monitoring application having several tenants: a camera vendor OEM (for camera software updates), an AI model developer (for model management), and the city (for secure access to camera feeds and model inferences).
SEC-TPM is integrated with NVIDIA JetPack 6.0 and Metropolis Microservices, providing a complete set of device security functions and features including secure boot and firmware updates, failure recovery, encryption, credentials management, and cloud integration.
“Axiomtek’s partnership with SecEdge further strengthens our commitment to delivering cutting-edge AIoT solutions,” said Vincent Chi, Director of the AIoT Division at Axiomtek. “SecEdge offers an advanced solution that provides comprehensive AI model protection from chip-to-cloud. Integrating SEC-TPM™ into our NVIDIA Jetson powered AIE platforms ensure our customers can develop and deploy innovative edge AI systems with confidence, knowing their solutions and intellectual property are protected.”
“Edge AI Model protection, at rest and in transit, is paramount for the success of the AIoT market,” said Sami Nassar, President and Co-CEO at SecEdge. “We are thrilled with this partnership, which delivers an out-of-the-box security solution for Axiomtek’s robust Jetson Orin-based systems.”
