EdgeLock Security Technologies

NXP’s EdgeLock security technologies provide the building blocks needed to achieve strong device protection and meet cybersecurity regulations. By combining hardware‑rooted trust, secure isolation, tamper resistance, credential management, and secure manufacturing services to help developers design secure‑by‑design products with streamlined compliance. The technologies below form the backbone of EdgeLock protections across our broad portfolio.

EdgeLock Secure Enclave

Provides physical isolation of critical security functions, protecting SoC integrity and sensitive data. It can be complemented with EdgeLock crypto accelerators for enhanced performance.

Resistance Against Physical and Logical Attacks

NXP has developed integrated physical and logical attack resistance technologies, to prevent unauthorized access, modification or bypassing of security protections.

EdgeLock Secure Elements and Secure Authenticators

NXP EdgeLock Secure Elements and Authenticators provide an IC‑level root of trust, delivering end‑to‑end security with EAL6+ protection against advanced attacks and forming the base of NXP’s High Security solutions.

Trust Provisioning Service for Secure Manufacturing

NXP Trust Provisioning securely injects unique root‑of‑trust keys and credentials during manufacturing, creating a trusted foundation for secure app install and execution at the edge.

EdgeLock 2GO

EdgeLock 2GO is NXP’s cloud service that securely provisions and manages IoT device credentials during manufacturing or in‑field, enabling OTA key management and secure device onboarding.

TrustZone Software Isolation

TrustZone separates secure and non‑secure software, protecting keys and sensitive code. Some NXP devices also offer a full Trusted Execution Environment for secure processing.

A Framework for Secure, Trustworthy Device Design

EdgeLock® protections and technologies give manufacturers a clear framework to build secure, trustworthy devices across the entire lifecycle. By understanding which threats apply to your product and how EdgeLock® capabilities address them, you can confidently design solutions that remain protected, updatable and aligned with modern cybersecurity expectations.
