Embedded: Axelera AI, Kudelski Labs collaborate for secure Edge AI processing

Axelera AI is adding Kudelski Labs’ security IP to its Europa AI chip for secure, high-performance Edge AI processing. It will support, for example, secure activation and real-time threat detection capabilities.

Specifically, it has integrated the Kudelski Secure Enclave (KSE3) into its Europa processor unit (AIPU).

The system is designed to protect advanced inference workloads within demanding edge environments. Possible applications include smart infrastructure, industrial automation or autonomous robotics.

Trust

“AI adoption is accelerating across edge devices at speed and trust is foundational to scale,” said Giuseppe Garcea, Director of Silicon at Axelera AI.

“Our collaboration with Kudelski Labs reinforces our commitment to delivering secure, high-performance AI solutions that customers can trust. As AI workloads increasingly move to the edge, KSE3 gives Europa a hardware root of trust that protects devices without compromising the speed and efficiency our customers expect.”

KSE3

For its part, Kudelski Labs highlighted the importance of its KSE3 (Kudelski Secure Enclave 3) hardware-based security IP.

“Security can no longer be an afterthought in high-performance AI systems,” said Christophe Nicolas, SVP Kudelski Labs.

“Axelera AI’s Europa platform represents an exciting milestone in edge computing and the integration of our KSE3 solution reinforces our commitment to delivering secure, high-performance AI solutions that protect our customer’s intellectual property from the factory to the consumer.”

Embedded World

Kudelski Labs can be found at Embedded World in 3A.334.

At the stand, making its European debut, will be KLARQ, Kudelski Labs’ autonomous robotic platform. It will feature in a live demonstration of Kudelski Labs’ AI-accelerated security stack integrated with Axelera AI’s Metis AIPU. The exhibit, it says, will demonstrate secure activation, real-time threat detection, and compliance-ready design in a tangible use case that represents the future of physical AI: machines that make autonomous decisions in the real world, where security failures have real-world consequences.

A division of the Kudelski Group, Kudelski Labs specialises in security IP. Its headquarters are in Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland, and Phoenix, Arizona.

Axelera AI

Axelera AI is located in Hall 2, Booth 440 – 2.440.

The Dutch compnay is a provider of purpose-built AI hardware acceleration. It announced Europa – an AIPU that it claims to set a new performance/price standard for multi-user generative AI and computer vision applications – in October last year.
