ARM (ARM,ARMH) announced the acquisition of Offspark, the IoT's leading security software company, thus signaling the importance of security in IoT.
Offspark, a Dutch company, specializes in IoT communications security and its PolarSSL technology is already deployed in a wide variety of devices including sensor modules, communication modules and smartphones.
As security is a requirement for all IoT deployments, this will help developers using the ARM mbed platform to design and build IoT products with world-class communication security and software cryptography.
PolarSSL is the IoT industry's most pervasive embedded Transport Layer Security or TLS solution. It will form the core of the ARM mbed communication security and software cryptography strategy and will be rebranded as ARM mbed TLS. The technology will remain open source and will be made available to developers for commercial use.
