Case Study: Winbond achieves EAL 5+ Common Criteria certification for TrustME™ with Applus+

Winbond certifies TrustME™ in 6 months with Applus+

Winbond, a memory integrated circuit company, faced the challenge of being the first to bring a Common Criteria certified secure flash memory device to market. They needed a lab with proven high-assurance evaluation experience and the expertise to overcome technical difficulties for a new type of product. They engaged the vendor, Applus+ Laboratories, to conduct this security evaluation.

Applus+ Laboratories successfully conducted an EAL 5+ Common Criteria Security Evaluation of Winbond's TrustME™ secure memory. Applus+ developed a new test environment and completed the entire evaluation in just six months, a significant reduction compared to the typical year-long timeframe for such projects. This was achieved through strong coordination, a multidisciplinary team, and proactive risk management, allowing Winbond to quickly bring their certified product to market.
