IC’Alps obtains Common Criteria site certification with Tiempo Secure
IC’Alps has obtained Common Criteria (CC) certification for its Grenoble site, issued by ANSSI.
This internationally recognized certification strengthens our partnership with Tiempo Secure, specialists in IP security, and enables us to meet the stringent security requirements for the design of secure devices. This milestone further enhances our collaboration in the implementation of EAL5+/EAL6-certified secure elements.
Grenoble (France), October 24, 2024 – IC’Alps, designing ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) and Tiempo Secure, developing security intellectual property (IP), today announced the IC’Alps’ Grenoble site Common Criteria certification from ANSSI French state agency as a new important step of their 3-year long partnership implementing Secure Element IP together. Thanks to the fruitful collaboration with IC’Alps, Tiempo Secure is very happy to pursue their commitment to deliver EAL5+/EAL6 Common Criteria certified solutions and products to market.
Widely used on a daily basis, the Common Criteria (CC) certification is an internationally recognized standard for evaluating the security of products and systems : credit cards, eSim, multifactor ID dongle, etc. up to sensitive servers and equipment. It provides a rigorous framework to assess the effectiveness of security features, ensuring that certified products meet stringent requirements.
“This certification ensures that IC’Alps’ design flows and environment meet a rigorous and internationally recognized security standard. It is an important recognition of our commitment and ability to manage a high level of security when working with Tiempo Secure’s sensitive data and helps meet their requirements for implementing security devices”, said Lucille Engels COO of IC’Alps.
“IC’Alps site Common Criteria certification is a significant achievement that complements Tiempo’s Security Enclave IP offering. Indeed, with this certification IC’Alps can undertake parts of the design process on behalf of Tiempo and assure the high level of security reached by Tiempo’s security IP products”, said Marc Renaudin CTO of Tiempo.
