Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The ALPON X4 includes a built-in VPN, which is always active, to ensure secure communication and provide a protected channel for data transfer between the ALPON Edge Computer and the ALPON Cloud platform. It is exclusively used for Sixfab services and cannot be utilized for communication with users' own servers.

Secure Authentication and Private Key with TPM 2.0 IC

The ALPON X4 features a TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) chip that strengthens security. While the device does not store any data in the TPM by default, customers can leverage this chip for their own security purposes, such as storing encryption keys or enhancing device authentication.

While ALPON X4 doesn’t store any data in the TPM by default, users can use it for their own security needs.

To use the TPM, you can:

• Store encryption keys securely.
• Use it for device authentication.
• Safeguard sensitive operations.

The ALPON X4 is equipped with the Infineon Technologies SLB 9670VQ2.0 TPM module, designed to enhance secure data processing and system integrity. Users can fully leverage the security features offered by the TPM by referring to the official documentation of the tpm2-software project.
