Embedded systems that combine control, connectivity, and hardware-backed identity to recognize the filters and disposable parts connected to them.
Authentication at the edge allows a product to identify a connected filter or disposable component before using it. These projects bring that trust decision into compact embedded hardware using microcontrollers, firmware, secure elements, and RFID.
The examples below show several ways to fit authentication into the product architecture, from a complete water-filter controller to dedicated RFID modules.
A controller for a water-filter system built around a microcontroller and dedicated firmware. An onboard secure element authenticates and identifies the connected filter as part of the control system.
A separate design combines a Wi-Fi-connected microcontroller with an integrated RFID interface to authenticate a connected filter while supporting network connectivity.
A compact sample board combines a microcontroller, secure element, and RFID to authenticate a disposable part within a larger product system.
