Security by design
Secure boot allows only authorized firmware to run on Kvaser Edge. Sensitive information including cryptographic keys, certificates and credentials is stored in protected areas. KEOS provides a minimal and hardened operating system where the application runs in an isolated environment, a LXC Container, reducing the risk of compromise and maintaining system integrity.
Explore about containerization and the methodology behind it.
Communication and lifecycle protection
All external communications are managed by the LXC Container, where data can be encrypted and authenticated, ensuring that data exchanged between connected devices, backend and cloud services remains confidential and intact.
Firmware and software updates for KEOS and the Kvaser Edge hardware are verified and integrity-checked, ensuring devices remain secure throughout their operational lifecycle without additional configuration.
Alignment and industry standards
Kvaser Edge and KEOS are designed for applications that require strong safety and cybersecurity protection, such as in automotive and industrial automation. The Kvaser Edge platform supports the RED (Radio Equipment Directive) and CRA (Cyber Resilience Act) directives, providing a solid foundation for secure and compliant operation.
Security integrated into the system
By embedding security at multiple levels, Kvaser Edge and KEOS can minimize potential vulnerabilities and maintain continuous system protection. This approach helps preserve data integrity, supports reliable operation, and enables secure interaction with connected networks and devices.
