Data security and storage specialist SiliconSystems has introduced an SDK (software development kit) for its suite of hard drive and flash storage security products. The “SiliconDrive Secure” SDK targets developers of data recorders, wearable/field computers, medical equipment, POS systems, and voting machines.

SiliconDrive said its Secure SDK lets OEMs mix-and-match its various data security, reliability, and availability technologies, which include:

• SiKey — ties SiliconDrive Secure to a specific host and/or software IP
• SiZone — multiple security zones on the same device
• SiProtect — provides software write protection for read-only access
• SiSecure — password required for read/write access
• SiSweep — rapid data erasure
• SiPurge — non-recoverable data erasure
• SiScrub — ultra-fast data erasure followed by a programmed pattern

SiliconDrive Secure
Gary Drossel, VP of product planning, stated, “There is no other storage solution on the market today that can provide the robust security features available in our SiliconDrive Secure products. With the SiliconDrive Secure SDK, embedded systems designers have a development platform to simplify and speed the integration of the critical security features.”

Availability

The SiliconDrive Secure SDK is available now. Pricing was not disclosed.
