Tropic Square 🌴🔲

📍 At CHES 2026 hosted by @IACR_News, we put TROPIC01’s fault-injection results in front of people who attack chips for a living.

Jan Medek and Saadya Chevan will discuss how Tropic Square uses AI to build a secure element at the 5th Brno Embedded AI Community meetup. Meet them on 10 November at 17:00 at @vut_cz Market Center, as part of Dny AI 2026 (please note this event is in Czech 🇨🇿language).

🔈Their talk walks through firmware development stage by stage, from coding and review to release verification. We’ll also discuss TROPIC01’s applications in edge AI devices, and what the secure element can and cannot cover.

🎉 We’re celebrating the first anniversary of the Trezor Safe 7 hardware wallet, secured by TROPIC01 and launched at the Trustless by Design event in Prague in October 2025.

🔧 Trezor Safe 7’s PIN protection runs through our TROPIC01 chip, a secure element whose design is published for audit. Trezor uses it to encrypt the wallet seed on the MCU, with keys from TROPIC01 and a second secure element effectively creating three layers of security working against attackers.

📂 TROPIC01’s PIN scheme, its API and Trezor’s integration code are public, so you can see how a shipping wallet uses the chip.

📍 At the OpenSSL Conference in Prague, we encountered two pressures on open security. CRA reporting duties have covered products already in the field since 11 September 2026, and post-quantum migration is starting to occur in the field.

📍 Next month our team takes TROPIC01 devkits to two shows:

👉 electronica and SEMICON Europa, Munich, 10–13 Nov

→ Enlit Europe, Vienna, 10–12 Nov

👉 TROPIC01 is an auditable hardware root of trust in the form of a secure element, with docs and SDK published without an NDA. Talk through with us where it fits your CRA work.

🗓 Full CRA obligations apply from 11 December 2027. Products designed now will ship under them.

🔧 Tomas Prejda is in Munich, and Šimon Fic is in Vienna. They are bringing devkits to take back to your own bench.

💬 Message them directly on LinkedIn to set a time to meet.
