Alex - Giri Sreenivas, co-founder of Helm here. We've designed security from the silicon up to make this device very difficult to hack. That means implementing secure boot, full disk encryption and utilizing a Secure Enclave for managing keys on the device.
And yes, you could definitely do this on a raspberry pi. That's what we used to prototype. It's not great for a long last, durable and secure platform though.
- jstanley 8y agoSorry... you designed your own ICs for this? That is a big claim. If that's not what you mean, what does "from the silicon up" mean?
- gsreenivas 8y agoSorry if that wasn't clear. We did not design our own ICs. We selected an SoC for its security capabilities and designed our solution to utilize it integrated with our firmware. We're using an SoC from NXP.
- q3k 8y agoFairly sure parent meant 'hackable' in the good sense of the word - ie. repurpose the hardware for your own uses and have root on it.
- gsreenivas 8y agogood point - I read it with the other connotation in mind. We plan to make a developer program available in the future. Stay tuned!
