The Inside Secure is a France-based fabless semiconductor firm. The VaultIC150 NFC-based security design has been introduced by this form, which can be used by the high-end consumer or luxury products to tackle the threat of cloning. With the NFC, the manufacturers of high-end consumer products consumables are able to track their products through distribution and retail channels. Moreover, the customers also can verify the product is an original and not a counterfeit.

As we know, the counterfeiting and cloning becomes more and harmful. The revenues will lose, and the jobs and company will lose too. The INSIDE VaultIC150 solution’s wireless NFC interface has a range of several centimetres and is available in several antenna form factors. Therefore, this chip can be deeply embedded into the product without any visible trace.

The NFC interface and embedded antenna collect the RF energy emitted by the reader device to power the security circuitry and communications interface, so the battery is not needed. Furthermore, the secure portion of the VaultIC150 influences the same circuitry used in the previously-released VaultIC100. The security engine employs elliptic-curve mutual authentication, a highly-secure and efficient method of protecting the products with banking-level security. The own security of the own security enables it to get rid of the tampering.

The voltage, frequency, and temperature detectors, illegal code execution prevention, tampering monitors and protection against side-channel attacks and probing are on the chip. In order to avoid data confidentiality being compromised, the chip s can detect tampering attempts and destroy sensitive data on such events.
