PRiSM™ platform delivers hardware-backed signing, automated workflows, and compliance readiness for next-gen devices.
CommScope today announced a fully tested, out-of-the-box secure boot signing solution for Texas Instruments’ Arm-based AM6x processor family, designed to help manufacturers safeguard device integrity and meet emerging cybersecurity mandates such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
Built on CommScope’s PRiSM™ (Permission Rights Signing Manager) platform, the solution integrates seamlessly with TI’s image build process and leverages FIPS-certified Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) for robust key protection. By centralizing key lifecycle management and automating signing workflows, CommScope eliminates the need for manufacturers to build and maintain their own cryptographic infrastructure—reducing development effort and accelerating time-to-market.
Secure boot is a critical foundation for system integrity, ensuring only trusted firmware executes during device startup. However, protecting the private signing key is essential; if compromised, even secure boot mechanisms can fail. CommScope’s solution addresses this challenge with hardware-backed security, strict access controls, and full auditability.
“Security should never be a barrier to product innovation. Our solution simplifies secure boot adoption and accelerates compliance for device makers worldwide.”
— Craig Coogan, CTO & VP, Product & Strategy, CommScope
Key Benefits of CommScope PRiSM:
- Hardware-Protected Keys: Multi-party-controlled key generation and deployment into FIPS-certified HSMs prevent exposure in software.
- Policy Enforcement & RBAC: Role-based access controls and eTokens restrict signing operations to authorized entities.
- CI/CD Integration: Cloud-accessible API integrates with TI SDK for automated, scalable signing workflows.
- Comprehensive Audit Trail: Tracks every signing operation for internal accountability and regulatory compliance.
“Secure boot is a cornerstone of system integrity and robust protection against software tampering,” said Sonia Ghelani, Product Line Manager, Sitara™ Processors, Texas Instruments. “CommScope’s production-grade infrastructure enables customers to fully leverage TI’s security capabilities.”
The secure boot package will be available in Q1 2026, with onboarding resources accessible via TI’s partner page and CommScope’s PKI Center.
