Egeon Technology has created a new security shield for the Raspberry Pi mini PC, that has been designed to protect your Pi from all angles including Ethernet, USB and SD card by offering hardware-based security, elliptic curves and AES-256 XTS say its creators.
Watch the video below to learn more about this new Raspberry Pi security shield, that has taken to the Kickstarter crowdfunding website to raise the €35,000 it requires to make the jump into production.
The developers of the PiSec Raspberry Pi security shield explain a little more about its inspiration, features and design.
PiSec offers, right out of the box, all you need to secure your Raspberry Pi, from the Ethernet connection to the SD Card.. You can use your RBPi to collect, store, and transfer data, but these bytes are always handled in clear text. There are several scenarios where you can use this small & powerful computer:
– Standalone PC as a storage system.
– Standalone PC as a data logger.
– Standalone PC with licensed software.
– Embedded device to control complex machines/systems. Standalone server.
– Very powerful and flexible, indeed! But …What happens if someone steals your NAS disks, your SD card, or your USB drive? What happens if someone sniffs the sensors’ or actuators’ communication lines and steals your telemetry? Can you afford to expose your data? Or …
Worst-case scenario: since RBPi is easily available, all your products can be replicated by your competitor. Even worse: what if a system mimics one of your authorized machines? (Man in the Middle attack).… Can you afford to lose your business?
For more information on the new PiSec Raspberry Pi security shield jump over to the Kickstarter website for details and to make a pledge from just €45 for early backers.
