FlashRunner 2.0 Advanced Cyber Security

March 16, 2022

In partnership with SMH Technologies, Intrinsic Quality is pleased to announce advanced cyber security features for all of the FlashRunner 2.0 Technology products, such as FlashRunner High Speed, FlashRunner 2.0 and FlashRunner LAN 2.0 NXG.  The new security features are inserted into the latest versions of OS and Workbench which can be downloaded at the SMH Technologies’ website.

This exciting new encryption method has been developed using asymmetric encryption to ensure the highest level of security.  The encryption inscribes a pair of  keys which are randomly generated by the FlashRunner ~ a private and a public key.

The public key is transmitted to Workbench and is used to encrypt the data, while the private key is securely stored within the FlashRunner, and is then used to decrypt the Workbench encrypted data.

Customers will now be able to encrypt their firmware using Workbench and the data can only be decrypted by their specific FlashRunner.  No other system will be able to decrypt those files without the specificFlashRunner, this includes SMH – no other entity can retrieve the actual data from the encrypted files.

An additional exciting component is the potential to encrypt dynamic data,  such as passwords, keys, serial numbers, etc.  Customers can now encrypt both static data and dynamic data utilizing the same encryption method.

New methods have been added to the DLL (both C and C#) to integrate dynamic encryption in the flashing sequence, and it is possible to now encrypt dynamic data directly from the DLL .

Intrinsic Quality is proud to be the leading U.S. Support Center for SMH FlashRunner 2.0, and the new FlashRunner HS.  We provide Sales, Technical Support and skilled Integration for your FlashRunner.  IQ also implements FlashRunner technology in microcontroller programming stations, Functional Test, and ICT.
