SecureRF and Andes Technology Join Forces to Deliver Quantum-Resistant Security Solutions for Constrained IoT Devices
Low-resource 32-, 16-, and 8-bit IoT devices are often deployed with little or no protection because most security solutions overwhelm available memory and power. Many security solutions also require a network connection and ongoing administration of a universal key or password database. These databases are subject to their own security risks, and can be extremely impractical to manage, particularly for high-volume industrial and consumer devices that may be distributed worldwide.
SecureRF’s asymmetric solutions, which include the Ironwood™ Key Agreement Protocol and Walnut Digital Signature Algorithm (WalnutDSA™), provide strong and fast security that will protect IoT devices even when quantum computers become available and render currently-used methods obsolete. Based on Group Theoretic Cryptography, SecureRF’s cryptographic protocols are at least 60 times faster than ECC, and consume up to 140 times less energy. Furthermore, there is no need to manage a database or maintain a network connection.
Andes’ 32-bit AndesCore™ S801 security processor and SecureRF’s security solutions are particularly well-suited. S801 uses a secure memory protection unit (SMPU) to isolate and protect different users/applications based on security privilege levels. S801 also provides unique tamper-resistance protections to shield against physical fault-injection attacks and side channel attacks. Its instruction/data/address scrambling, secure interruption and secure debugging features defend against hacks targeting all possible CPU interface.
“Partnering with SecureRF enables us to address the rapidly-growing need for high-performance authentication and data protection solutions that work efficiently in constrained environments,” said Frankwell Lin, president, Andes Technology. “This joint endeavor allows companies developing smart cards, smart appliances, wearables and other low-resource IoT applications to completely protect their users with an economical, silicon-based IP solution that is easy to implement. To further speed up and conceal SecureRF’s efficient algorithms, the powerful Andes Custom Extension™ (ACE) supported by extensible AndesCores such as E830 can be used to automate the design of special custom instructions.”
“Widespread consumer acceptance of IoT devices will be challenging until manufacturers make strong authentication and data protection the rule rather than the exception,” said Louis Parks, chief executive officer, SecureRF. “Our quantum-resistant cryptosystems combined with AndesCore™ processors offer manufacturers a competitive edge by enabling them to provide their customers with peace-of-mind that their information and device access are fully protected.”

Andes Technology Corporation Records a Cumulative 2.0 Billion SoC Shipments Containing Its CPU IP Since Inception
Enjoying 10-Fold Growth in Unit Shipments Since 2013,
In 2016 Alone, the Company Reported 430 million SoC Shipments Containing Its CPU IP
Hsinchu, Taiwan. – April 3, 2017 – Andes Technology Corporation (TPE:6533), the leading Asia-based supplier of small, low-power, high performance 32-bit embedded CPU cores, today announced that up to the end of 2016, the company has recorded a total of 1.9 billion SoCs containing its CPU IP. As of today, this number has already grown to above 2.0 billion. In 2016, the company reported 430 million SoCs shipped worldwide containing its CPU IP. The 2016 shipments alone represented over 20 percent of the total SoCs shipped. From 2013 to 2016, the company has enjoyed a 10 fold growth in shipment volume of IP cores in SoC devices.
Andes President, Frankwell Jyh-Ming Lin declared “After several years of steadily increasing unit shipments growth, our customers are now in large volume production. More importantly, they continue to license our IP for next generation versions of their designs. The result is that Andes is seeing steadily increasing growth in royalty income and expect this trend to continue going forward. Andes’ customers’ SoCs are shipping in a wide range of very high volume applications including WiFi, Bluetooth, touch screen controller, sensor hub, MCU, SSD controller, USB3.0 storage, and more.”
Andes is also making inroads into the next generation of high volume designs now coming onto the market. These include automotive IoT and Innovative ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). The company is targeting other markets including robotics, augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), voice recognition and deep learning, where the company reported last year a design win with innovative deep-learning start-up Wave Computing of Campbell, California.
Since 2005, Andes Technology has steadily developed highly efficient, low-power 32-bit embedded processors and associated SoC development platforms to shorten its customers time to market. In addition, the company continues to innovate next generation CPU architectures driven by existing and new customers’ requirements and functionality demanded by rapidly evolving applications such as AR/VR, ADAS, and deep learning.

Andes Technology Corporation Goes IPO On the Taiwan Stock Exchange
【Hsinchu, Taiwan.】– Andes Technology Corporation, the leading Asia-based supplier of small, low-power, high performance 32-bit embedded CPU cores, today made an initial stock listing of 40,611,915 shares at a price of NT$65.10 per share. The shares began trading on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TWSE)—the driving engine of Taiwan’s economic growth—on March 14, 2017, under the TWSE ticker symbol “6533.TWO.” Proceeds from the offering will be used to expand the company’s R&D effort to fuel Andes’ international expansion into the U.S. and Europe and to increase its competitiveness in China, Korea, and Japan.
“In its short history, Andes Technology Corporation has reached a major milestone with its listing on the Taiwan Stock Exchange,” stated Andes Chairman, Ming-Kai Tsai. “Reaching this landmark is not an easy task, although we knew it required patience in IP product and business development from the beginning. I am glad to see Andes has now achieved initial success in the embedded processor IP industry.” Andes President, Frankwell Jyh-Ming Lin declared, “Andes has several sources of revenue, including, among others, license fees to acquire the rights to use our CPU IP and royalty income on the sale of all semiconductor devices containing our IP. While the number of licensees has grown steadily since our founding, the increase in royalties has been significant, growing 10 fold from 2013 to 2016 and increasing 60 percent in the last quarter of 2016. This reflects our customers’ success with their products containing our IP.”
About the IPO Process on the TWSE
To become listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, a company such as Andes, must have a net worth, in both its most recent financial report and in its financial report for the most recent fiscal year, that is two-thirds or greater of the share capital stated on its financial report. At the time it applies for listing, a company’s paid-in capital must be NT$300 million or more and it must have 20 million shares or more shares publicly offered and issued common stock. Another requirement is the company has 1,000 or more registered shareholders. Excluding company insiders and any judicial persons, who hold more than 50 percent of the shares, there must be at least 500 registered shareholders.
The company must have successfully developed a product or a technology with market potential, and it must have obtained an appraisal opinion from Industrial Development Bureau in Taiwan, R.O.C. It must also have at least six months of proven trading records. This is accomplished by listing its shares on the TPEx Emerging Stock Board (ESB), where Andes has been trading since 2015. The company must be recommended in writing by a reputable securities underwriter. For the Andes IPO Horizon Securities Corporation provided this service.
The company must appoint independent directors, not less than two in number and not less than one-fifth of the total number of directors. Finally, company financial reporting must comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
