On July 24, 2025, Munich, Germany, Infineon Technologies AG (FSE code: IFX/OTCQX code: IFNNY), a global semiconductor leader in power systems and the Internet of Things, recently launched a new Infineon ID Key series, further expanding its Universal Serial Bus (USB) token, encryption dongle, security key, and other hardware based authentication application scenarios. The newly launched ID Key S USB is a highly secure and versatile product designed specifically for various USB and USB/NFC token devices and applications. The ID Key S USB integrates the high security, performance, and reliability of the Infineon SLC38 security controller, and is encapsulated in a separate module with the USB bridge controller, making it a unique system level encapsulation solution. ID Key S USB can provide flexibility for the design and development of customers' final product forms, while simplifying the deployment of complex applications and reducing material costs and related expenses for customers. This product has passed the highest level of security certification and can support various application scenarios, including certificate based authentication applications, Fast Online Authentication (FIDO) based on device bound keys, digital signatures, encryption, access control, software protection, and cryptocurrency hardware wallets.
The growing demand for secure online transactions and the increasing number of network security issues have led to a surge in demand for secure and hardware supported authentication solutions. Maurizio Skerlj, Senior Vice President and Product Line Leader of Authentication and Identity Authentication Solutions at Infineon Technologies' Security and Interconnection Systems Division, stated, "As the market shifts towards more secure and convenient authentication methods, advanced security solutions are becoming increasingly popular. By launching the ID Key S USB, we are able to grasp this trend and provide powerful solutions that meet customer needs. "
The ID Key S USB has a series of key features that support its secure and multifunctional design, and is fully functional. This product, with its high-performance 100 MHz 32-bit CPU and 24 kB large capacity RAM, not only achieves ultra fast and secure application execution, but also provides excellent performance for operating systems to cope with various application scenarios. It also has ample storage space, with a maximum non-volatile memory capacity of 800 kB, capable of storing large amounts of data, encryption keys, software, and multiple applications. In addition, the ID Key S USB has obtained CC EAL 6+(Advanced) certification, which provides extremely high security and meets FIPS 140-3 hardware requirements, enabling customers to apply for FIPS 140-3 certification for their final products. The ID Key S USB is designed to be compact, with a size of only 4 x 4 x 0.85 mm, making it ideal for integration into space constrained token devices.
