Protect Embedded Applications with Bootable NAND Flash - Hagiwara

Hagiwara Sys-Com US Co., Ltd.,  introduces bNAND, a bootable NAND flash with USB interface and -in flash controller, with dimensions of 12mmx18mmx1.2mm. The bNAND can be configured to various drive configurations: a CD-ROM partition (read-only), a Flash partition (read/write) and Hidden Memory Zone.

The CD-ROM can be used to store the Operating System and prevent accidental or malicious erasure. The Hidden Memory Zone can be used to store passwords, credentials and serial numbers. The Hidden Memory Zone is scalable and can also be used to store application components and backup files.

Each bNAND possesses a hidden UniqueID. This UniqueID can be embedded in the application, restricting operation to a specific bNAND with the matching UniqueID only. This feature prevents unauthorized copies of the application to other storage mediums.
