Компания Qualcomm объявила о том, что её последняя однокристальная система, Snapdragon 855, стала первым процессором, получившим сертификат эквивалентной безопасности смарт-карт. Это означает, что теперь процессор (со встроенным модулем безопасной обработки – Secure Processing Unit) может делать то, для чего ранее были необходимы отдельные микросхемы безопасности.

Компания Qualcomm объявила, что её Snapdragon 855 (SD 855) успешно прошёл сертификацию безопасности эквивалентную смарт-картам. Эта процедура, также известная как сертификация безопасности Common Criteria EAL-4 + и является «золотым стандартом» по оценке безопасности аппаратного обеспечения, такого как однокристальные системы. Сертификат присуждается Федеральным ведомством по информационной безопасности Германии после прохождения теста, признанного во всём мире.

SD 855 оснащён интегрированным модулем Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit, который используется в Android Strongbox Keymaster или Gatekeeper. Получение сертификата безопасности открывает для SD 855 широкий спектр возможностей применения: в качестве Trusted Platform Module (доверенного платформенного модуля, где хранятся криптографические ключи для защиты информации); для платежей, криптовалют, разрешений на выезд и даже электронных удостоверений личности (ID) – всё это можно разместить на флагманском смартфоне 2019 года.

В свете получения сертификата Common Criteria EAL-4 +, старший директор по управлению продуктами Qualcomm Джесси Сид (Jesse Seed) отметил: «Завершение сертификации безопасности EAL-4 + является важной вехой на пути к повышению уровня безопасности Snapdragon для наших клиентов и пользователей. Для некоторых сценариев использования ранее требовались отдельные микросхемы безопасности, которые теперь будут изначально интегрированы в Snapdragon 855».

Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Becomes First Mobile SoC to Receive Smart Card Equivalent Security Certification

Secure Processing Unit can run High Assurance Applications Previously Only Performed by External Security Chips, Saving OEMs Bill of Materials Cost

SAN DIEGO — June 25, 2019 — Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), announced the Qualcomm® Secure Processing Unit, an on-die secure element recently launched as part of the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 855 Mobile Platform, has received Common Criteria EAL-4+ security certification, the gold standard for smart card hardware security assurance and testing. The internationally recognized certification makes the Snapdragon 855 the first mobile SoC (System on Chip) to attain smart card levels of security assurance. The integrated Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit enables Qualcomm Technologies’ OEM customers to save on Bill of Materials (BOM) cost without sacrificing security and offers the performance and power improvements that come with integration into the leading process node.

Examples of current Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit use cases include Android Strongbox Keymaster and Gatekeeper. On demonstration at Qualcomm Technologies’ exhibit at MWC Shanghai this week is another example of the certified Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit’s capabilities: an integrated SIM (iSIM) demo by Qualcomm Technologies and Gemalto, a Thales company. In the future, capabilities like offline payment, trusted platform module (TPM) functions, transit, electronic ID, and crypto wallets will be possible, all without the need of a discrete security chip.

“Completing the EAL-4+ security certification is a major milestone in our journey to bring smart card levels of security to our Snapdragon customers and users. Use cases that previously required separate security chips will now be possible fully integrated in Snapdragon 855 powered devices,” said Jesse Seed, senior director, product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “This certification is a testament to the industry firsts that Snapdragon 855 brings to market and Qualcomm Technologies’ continued leadership in embedded security.”

The certification of the Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit has been approved by BSI (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik), the German Federal Office for Information Security.  BSI’s certification program is known to be very rigorous and globally recognized.

“As the national certification authority, the BSI has shown with this certification that Common

Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408) is the first choice to ensure high security for complex products like

SoCs. The certification, which uses international and transparent standards, is an important contribution to strengthen the users' confidence in the security of IT products.

Information security is a prerequisite for a successful digitization," said Arne Schönbohm, president, German Federal Office for Information Security.

“Improving security is a top priority for all of our platform releases,” said Dave Kleidermacher, head of Android security and privacy, Google. “Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit makes it possible for our OEMs to meet the stringent Android StrongBox requirements, and we are looking forward to seeing how partners implement it to take advantage of key StrongBox features, such as improvements to credential and payment security.”

“We are committed to advanced built-in security with the Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit for accelerating the adoption of embedded SIM (eSIM)-based cellular connectivity among a wide variety of consumer connected devices,” said Jean-Francois Rubon, director of strategy, mobile communications solutions, Thales.

“This innovation, based on the GSMA global eSIM specification, will be a great enabler for all sorts of exciting products across all markets,” said Jean-Christophe Tisseuil, head of SIM, GSMA. “Industry recognized assurance of the security within this work is critical and we congratulate Qualcomm Technologies on achieving this significant level of certification in an innovative product.”

Already in production, Snapdragon 855 with the Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit offers improved power and performance characteristics, in addition to industry-leading security features. It has launched in flagship devices globally and is the industry’s first commercial mobile platform supporting multi-gigabit 5G, on-device AI and immersive extended reality (XR) collectively, ushering in a new decade of revolutionary mobile devices.
