SecEdge has announced that AAEON will offer its SEC-TPM Edge AI security solution on the AAEON BOXER platform, a line of fanless embedded AI systems. SEC-TPM is a firmware TPM (fTPM) solution coupled with a secure provisioning service that ensures AI model security while reducing BOM cost. With the expansion of this strategic partnership, AAEON's line of embedded Box PCs, powered by NVIDIA Jetson system-on- modules, will be available pre-configured with SecEdge Edge AI security software. The solution brings a number of 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. Device Integrity: Device integrity is ensured with trust provisioning and management of SEC-TPM, a 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 with 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, which includes microservices for Jetson, providing a complete set of device security functions and features, including secure boot and firmware updates, failure recovery, encryption, credentials management, and cloud integration.
