Introduction Randomness plays a crucial role in various fields, including cryptography, simulations, and data analysis. To ensure the security and integrity of systems, high-quality random data is essential. That’s where the TKey Random Generator comes into play.
US Online Reseller We’re proud to announce our first US online reseller, Blinkinlabs. With a reseller in US we simplify order handling and deliveries for customers all over North America.
Reseller News We can now present two resellers of the TKey. Proxystore are based in Leipzig, Germany. They have both a local store and online shop.
Clarification on what we sell It has come to our attention that some customers are surprised that the TKey we are currently selling in our web shop, is a TKey for end users and consequently has the program memory locked-down.
Tillitis Shop Open The wait is finally over. Today we open Tillitis Shop and deliveries will start immediately. We ship from our office all working days (adhering Swedish bank holidays).
On Flexibility and Future Proof What makes TKey flexible? The function of a TKey is defined by software, the TKey Device App, that is uploaded to the TKey from the client, the computer or mobile phone the TKey is attached to, and usually a piece of software running on the client that is loading and then communicating with the TKey device app.
Digital keys is how information and communication on the Internet is protected. We all use them every day. Hence, generating those keys is crucial aspect of security. This is how it’s done on TKey.
About TKey Memory One important aspect, when it comes to security in devices, is how data stored in memory, is protected. Program Storage On the end user TKey, the entire FPGA design together with the firmware ROM is kept in the locked-down configuration memory (NVCM - Non Volatile Configuration Memory) within the FPGA chip. It’s not externally readable and only readable by the FPGA when configuring itself. This means the device secret (UDS) can’t be read, not even with the TKey programming board we provide.
TKey Interaction points TKey has two LED’s indicating status and one touch area. Power LED illuminates blue, when TKey is powered. Status LED indicates different statuses. There are two basic indications: When TKey has booted up status LED illuminates in white. Red blink means something is wrong, restart TKey by removing it from USB port and re-insert. Green blink means user has to assert presence. This behaviour depends on the TKey device app.
Update Update April 3, 2023: All is finalised and web shop is open! An update on our release and what’s remaining. Plan was to release and open our web shop by the end of last week. During final work, we found that USB communication with the TKey didn’t work on MacBook in all use cases. This is now corrected and we are currently double checking everything on the firmware.
