For the future European applications such as Smart Grids for electricity network, smart low energy home appliance, environmental sensor networks, and to grant more security over communication networks and wireless communications, a number of technologies need to be developed and put in place to make the solutions smarter and more secure. The objective of TOISE is to define, develop and validate trust hardware and firmware mechanisms applicable both to lightweight embedded devices and as security anchors within related embedded platforms. The aim is to maintain Europe as a worldwide player in the field of efficient implementation of secure integrated devices, to address the future European applications. TOISE brings together European semiconductor companies and research institutes.
