CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM) shares began Tuesday down. The company, a global leader in network connectivity, today announced a fully tested, out-of-the-box bootloader signing solution for the Texas Instruments’ (TI) Arm-based AM6x processor family. Built on CommScope’s PRiSM™ (Permission Rights Signing Manager) platform, this solution is simple and easy to integrate with the TI image build process; and it ensures robust key protection using a FIPS-certified Hardware Security Module (HSM) and centralized key lifecycle management.
The solution delivers a production-ready path to secure boot adoption—streamlining Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) and meeting cybersecurity mandates without requiring teams to build and manage their own cryptographic infrastructure.
“Secure boot is a cornerstone of system integrity and robust protection against software tampering,” said Sonia Ghelani, Product Line Manager, Sitara™ Processors, Texas Instruments.
“With CommScope’s production-grade infrastructure and HSM-protected signing keys, we’re enabling customers to fully leverage TI’s security capabilities, which help simplify secure boot adoption and defend against today’s sophisticated cyberattacks.”
Bootloader security is a critical foundation for ensuring device integrity because it determines whether firmware can be trusted before executing it. This function requires protecting the private signing key used to authenticate firmware; if that key is compromised, even secure boot mechanisms can be bypassed.
COMM shares slid 47 cents, or 2.5%, to $18.16.
