TMC’s Security Chip with SM9 Algorithm Awarded OSCCA Level 2 Certificate

The SM9 algorithm adopted by TMC’s high-performance security chip THD89 obtained the OSCCA Level 2 Certificate, making THD89 one of the first chips receiving this certificate.

The SM9 algorithm is an identity-based cryptographic algorithm issued the Office of the State Commercial Cryptography Administration (OSCCA). Without needing to apply for a digital certificate, the SM9 streamlines the application and the verification, which is translated into significant advantages in ensuring the identity authentication and data security in such fields as mobile internet, IoT and big data. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for the security of smart terminals, IoT, cloud storage, among other hot applications.

SM9’s computing power assured by official organization

As a leader of security chips, TMC attaches great importance to the realization of SM9 algorithm on the chip, for which TMC has made in-depth research. As a result, the THD89 chip successfully passed the stringent review of senior experts during this certification and became one of the first chips holding the OSCCA Level 2 certificate by outdoing a batch of chips adopting the SM9 algorithm.

It is learned that this is the first time since the release of the SM9 algorithm that the OSCCA Test Center conducts the level-2 certification for chips with the SM9 algorithm. Passing this certification indicates that TMC is at a leading position in terms of the SM9 algorithm application and becomes one of a few chip suppliers in this field recognized by the official organization. More importantly, the SM9 computing power provided by the THD89 is effectively assured as its security has been recognized by the OSCCA.

Award-winning THD89 delivers strong security

In fact, TMC has never stopped the efforts for “security”. THD89, a benchmark of security chips, has swept many top honors with its hardcore capabilities: the first of its kind in China certified by SOGIS CC EAL5+, making it one of the global security chips with the highest level of security; the first security chip licensed by Alibaba Cloud  ID² INSIDE trademark to ensure the security of IoT devices in such aspects as communications, identity and data encryption; the automotive-grade AEC-Q100 certification meaning that THD is currently one of the most advanced automotive chips in China; the OSCCA Level 2 Certificate for the SM9 algorithm represents another record for chips. All these honors and awards demonstrate THD89’s unrivalled security quality.

Moreover, THD89 adopts powerful underlying technologies. It is compatible with multiple interface standards, supports both international and Chinese cryptographic algorithms, and adopts security protection measures such as memory encryption storage, bus encryption, electrical environment monitoring, and anti-fault injection. Meanwhile, THD89 provides the user space twice its competitors, and supports up to 500,000 program/erase cycles and the data retention of as long as 25 years. Favored by well-known card issuers, operators and system providers, THD89 is protecting various scenarios including financial payment, e-purse, IoT and IoV.

As a representative product of TMC, THD89’s achievements are a reflection of TMC’s spirit of pursuing excellence. Looking into the future, we’ll continue actively exploring emerging fields and providing higher-quality security chips to move the industry forward.
