cedarRoot

The root of trust for secure, updatable embedded devices

Over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates that are secure and time-efficient are critical. cedarRoot is cedarCore’s over-the-air firmware updater and on-device boot manager that offers compressed, signed, and encrypted updates that are as small as 1% of the original firmware size. The size reduction created by cedarRoot’s one-of-a-kind compression algorithm provides stable, effective, and secure firmware updates, saving users and companies time, cellular costs, and data fees, while ensuring the integrity of the firmware update.

Firmware updates have historically been time-consuming, insecure, and high-risk, leaving devices and their users frustrated and vulnerable. In particular, updates for low-cost, low-power devices face specific obstacles that leave devices exposed to bricking, bad updates, and unauthorized firmware. These challenges make it so that regular firmware updates are difficult, if not impossible. The optimization offered by cedarRoot is the solution for fast, reliable, and secure over-the-air firmware updates.

With features including detection of failures and rollbacks to prevent bricking of devices, signed and encrypted firmware updates to prevent interception from bad actors, and compressed, fast updates to save companies and end users time and cellular fees, cedarRoot removes the pain of firmware updates so that you can keep your product up to date and get your fixes and new features into your customers hands quickly and with ease.
