Introduction

A microcontroller is a small computer on a single integrated circuit containing a processor core, EEPROM and a small amount of SRAM.

Basically more or less the same as a modern Smartcard!

Additionally a microcontroller comes with programmable digital and analogue input/output peripherals. Typically such peripherals include switches, relays, LEDs, small or custom LCD displays, radio frequency devices, and sensors for data such as temperature, humidity, light level etc.

A microcontroller can be considered a self-contained system with a processor, memory and peripherals and is usually used as an embedded system. Typical input and output devices include switches, relays, solenoids, LEDs, small or custom LCD displays, radio frequency devices, and sensors for data such as temperature, humidity, light level etc. Embedded systems usually have no keyboard, screen, disks, printers, or other recognizable I/O devices of a personal computer, and may lack human interaction devices of any kind.

Aloaha secureM2M

Based on our vast experience in Smartcard, secureSIM and security software development and due to the lack of comprehensive security solutions for M2M Terminals Aloaha is offering now a microcontroller based secure M2M Terminal.

Features:

• 8 digital I/O lines to switch relays, digital sensors, etc.
• 6 PWM signal lines
• 8 analogue input lines for sensors, etc.
• Connectivity via Serial Port, Quad band GSM/3G Modem, IR, RF, Ethernet, Zigbee, Bluetooth or Wifi
• Aloaha Software with embedded FTP, HTTP, Mail, SMS and TCP Socket Server/Clients
• supports AES, SHA1/256 and optional RSA via secureSIM or secure uSD

Digital I/O

• Capture, log and count digital input pulses
• Capture serial data from loggers, controllers and sensors
• Send digital input alerts, logs and counts via SMS, HTTP, email or FTP
• Trigger relays upon digital input events
• Monitor and log analog input (temp, flow, pressure, noise, gas)
• Send analog value set point alerts via SMS, HTTP, Email or FTP
• Trigger relays upon analog input set point

One of the many supported logon token in Aloaha Smartlogn are plain memory sticks or cards (uSD). It is a very cheap and easy solution to use very complex windows passwords without having to remember them and thus adding extra security to your IT environment.

The Username, Domain and Password are encrypted with a second, user choosen PIN or password and saved on the stick. During the windows logon Aloaha will decrypt those credentials to use them.

USB Stick as Logon Token

To create the token please choose the stick (drive letter) to be used, enter your windows credentials and chosse a new password to encrypt those credentials. With save you save those to the stick and with validate you can validate them.

The USB Memory Stick solution is currently freeware and can be installed from http://www.aloaha.com/download/smartlogon.zip
