The infrastructure that powers our cities is more vulnerable than ever. Utilities can’t afford to be the object lesson for security. They need smart grid partners who understand the many threats they face—and how to stop them.

At Maxim Integrated, we know that one line of defense isn't enough. You need multiple layers of security to protect meters through the entire lifecycle, from manufacturing to installation and operation.

Advanced Security Mechanisms

• Asymmetric encryption and certificate-based schemes ensure that smart meters and other grid-connected devices are authenticated to prevent sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands
• Multiple layers of encryption secure data at the point of measurement
• Physical tamper protection ensures that cryptographic keys remain secret
• Secure bootloader thwarts advanced cyber attacks that target the root of the system
