STM32 Expansion Software from STMicroelectronics Simplifies Security Implementation on IoT Endpoints Consolidating secure boot, secure firmware update, and secure-engine services in a convenient STM32Cube expansion software package, X-CUBE-SBSFU v.2.0 from STMicroelectronics helps product developers fully utilize the security features of STM32* microcontrollers to protect connected devices like IoT endpoints and help manage their life-cycle. By establishing a root of trust in the microcontroller, X-CUBE-SBSFU Secure Boot enables protection of intellectual property. Secure Boot checks and activates the STM32’s built-in security mechanisms, and checks the authenticity and integrity of user application code before every execution to prevent invalid or malicious code from running. The trusted device can then safely take part in mutual authentication when connecting remotely to a network, in accordance with well-known security best practices. The secure firmware-update functionality aids lifetime device management – applying fixes, functional upgrades, and security updates to cover the latest cyber threats — by handling secure loading and safe programming of firmware. The secure loader supports multiple recognized digital-signature (ECDSA or AES methods) and cryptography (AES-GCM) algorithms ato receive, authenticate, and decrypt the encrypted firmware image, and check the integrity of the code. The safe programming supports both single-image update for maximum user-application size and dual- image update giving extra flexibility to support anti- rollback during image installation and Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware download. In addition, X-CUBE-SBSFU secure-engine services maintain a protected environment for storing critical data such as cryptographic keys and executing cryptographic algorithms, thus completing a comprehensive package for protecting connected devices and securing IoT networks. The X-CUBE-SBSFU expansion software package is delivered as a free-of-charge reference library, available under Software License Agreement, and comes with technical literature to aid implementation of best-in- class protection demonstrating state-of-the-art usage of STM32L4 and STM32L4+ security features. Built upon ST’s STM32Cube software technology, it will

Samsung Electronics Begins Offering LED Component Solutions for Horticulture Lighting Samsung Electronics, a world leader in advanced digital component solutions, today announced that it is now offering LED component solutions that have been optimized for horticulture lighting. The company’s new horticulture LED lineup features a newly developed “red LED” package, as well as additions to key existing Samsung “white LED” package and module families to include horticulture lighting specifications. “Our horticulture LED solutions are based on LED technologies that deliver proven levels of performance and reliability across an extensive range of lighting applications,” said Yoonjoon Choi, vice president of LED Business Team at Samsung Electronics. “By broadening our lineup to include horticulture LEDs, we are providing global luminaire manufacturers with a one-stop resource for these solutions as well as for our many other LED technologies.” Samsung’s new horticultural LED – the LH351B Red – is a high-power package providing a wavelength of 660 nanometers (nm) with a photosynthetic photon flux (PPF)* value of 2.15 micromoles per second (μmol/s) (350mA), making it optimal for most types of horticulture lighting. The 660-nm wavelength helps to accelerate the growing of plants including their photosynthesis, as well as enrich the blooming of flowers. The package also features a very low thermal resistance of 2.0 kelvins per watt (K/W), allowing for easier heat dissipation within LED luminaires. Moreover,
