MUNICH, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX) (OTCQX: IFNNY) today announces the integration of its OPTIGA™ Trusted Platform Module (TPM) SLB 9672 with NVIDIA's Jetson Thor platform. The hardware-based security solution securely stores cryptographic keys and verifies system integrity at the chip level, establishing a certified, quantum-resilient root of trust for Physical AI systems. The integration strengthens the security foundation, enabling robots and autonomous systems to operate securely and reliably across their full lifecycle. As these systems move from controlled environments into factories and public spaces, the impact of a security failure extends beyond data loss to operational disruption and regulatory liability. For the robotics industry, the security architecture decisions made at design-in have lasting commercial and compliance implications.

"Robots that sense, think and act in the real world are only as trustworthy as the security foundation they are built on," said Dr. Stephan Zizala, Division President of Connected Secure Systems at Infineon. "Infineon's OPTIGA TPM brings a hardware root of trust to the NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform that has been proven across hundreds of millions of devices. This integration meets the long-lifecycle and real-time demands of robots operating safely and securely at scale. Post-quantum cryptography designed into our solutions enables a foundation which remains protected not just for today's deployments, but for the full life of every robot that relies on it."

"Physical AI systems operate in the real world, where security is foundational," said Deepu Talla, Vice President of robotics and edge AI at NVIDIA. "Infineon's certified OPTIGA TPM for NVIDIA Jetson Thor helps developers protect keys, verify software integrity and securely provision robot fleets at scale, establishing a hardware-based root of trust for secure and resilient autonomous systems."

The EU Cyber Resilience Act, EU AI Act, IEC 62443 for industrial systems, and sector-specific standards in healthcare and automotive environments are working towards the new requirements of demonstrable, auditable security at the hardware level, creating a compliance-driven demand signal that Infineon and NVIDIA are positioned to serve.

The OPTIGA TPM technology provides a physically isolated, FIPS and Common Criteria certified solution that is separate from the application processor. It delivers measured boot and remote attestation, allowing operators and regulators to cryptographically verify at any point in a system's operational life that its software stack is genuine and unmodified. It also provides hardware-protected storage for proprietary AI model keys, encrypted communications, and cryptographically signed over-the-air updates.

The OPTIGA TPM, the industry's first TPM protected by a post-quantum secured firmware update mechanism, is designed as a root of trust which is protected from being compromised as the cryptographic threat landscape evolves. Developers building Physical AI applications on NVIDIA's Jetson Thor platform can rely on the hardware security foundation established at the architecture stage and will remain protected against current and upcoming cryptographic threats on robot systems.

The roadmap to full post-quantum security is completed by Infineon's next-generation OPTIGA TPM, embedding algorithms including ML-KEM and ML-DSA, standardized by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2024. Companies building on the current OPTIGA TPM today will be able to make an easy transition. For the robotics industry, this matters beyond technical readiness. Regulatory frameworks governing Physical AI are already moving in the direction of mandatory PQC compliance, and the architecture decision made at the outset determines whether a deployed robot fleet can meet those requirements across its full deployment period or faces costly hardware intervention when mandates arrive.

Humanoid robots rely on a chain of semiconductor functions to sense, think and act safely and securely, spanning sensing, actuation, power management, connectivity and security. Infineon addresses all these functional blocks through a broad portfolio of dedicated solutions, with an estimated semiconductor content of approximately USD 500 per humanoid robot. Security isn't optional; it's the foundation of modern robotics. Infineon builds the shield against tomorrow's threats. Security components, including TPM, represent a growing share of that content as regulatory requirements mature. Working with ecosystem partners such as NVIDIA, Infineon supports robot developers and manufacturers in moving from lab pilots to fleet deployment in industrial, healthcare and logistics environments.

In der Debatte um die psychische Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen rücken österreichische Schulen zunehmend in den Fokus. Golli Marboe, Initiator der „Mental Health Days“, fordert, Lehrerinnen und Lehrer deutlich stärker zu unterstützen – und zugleich in die Pflicht zu nehmen. Im Gespräch mit der APA plädierte er dafür, dass alle Pädagoginnen und Pädagogen einmal im Jahr verpflichtend eine Fortbildung zu einem Thema rund um das psychische Wohlbefinden absolvieren. Zusätzlich brauche es ein strukturiertes Angebot zur regelmäßigen Supervision.

Marboe verweist darauf, dass der Lehrberuf damit eine Sonderrolle einnimmt: „Es ist der einzige Sozialberuf, der das nicht hat“, sagt er mit Blick auf fehlende Supervisionsstrukturen. Nach seiner Vorstellung sollen Lehrkräfte damit nicht nur entlastet, sondern auch besser befähigt werden, Warnsignale bei Schülerinnen und Schülern frühzeitig zu erkennen und professionell darauf zu reagieren. Die Forderung zielt auf eine langfristige Verankerung von Mental-Health-Kompetenz im Schulalltag ab.

Zusätzlichen Druck erzeugt aus Sicht von Fachleuten der Umgang Jugendlicher mit sozialen Medien. Barbara Haid, Präsidentin des Österreichischen Bundesverbands für Psychotherapie (ÖBVP), unterstützt ein Social-Media-Verbot für Unter-14-Jährige ausdrücklich. „Kinder brauchen keine sozialen Medien“, betont sie und spricht sich für einen altersgerechten, schrittweisen Zugang aus – ähnlich wie beim Führerschein, für den man lernen und eine Prüfung ablegen müsse. Besonders problematisch seien sogenannte „Endless Reels“, also endlos scrollbare Kurzvideo-Formate, die nach Einschätzung von Haid und Marboe stärkere Auswirkungen auf die Psyche haben können als klassische Textnachrichten, während Ängste gleichzeitig diffuser würden.

Dass viele Lehrkräfte im Bereich Social Media weniger sattelfest sind als ihre Schülerinnen und Schüler, sehen die beiden Experten nicht als Nachteil. Marboe zieht den Vergleich mit Suchtprävention: Man müsse „nicht jede Droge ausprobieren, um darüber reden zu können, dass Drogen schlecht sind“. Haid verweist auf Klassen, in denen sich Lehrende digitale Plattformen von den Jugendlichen erklären lassen. Diese bewusste Rollenumkehr könne die Beziehungsebene stärken, weil die Schülerinnen plötzlich als Expertinnen auftreten. Aus Sicht der Befürworter solcher Ansätze ist das Zusammenspiel aus besser geschulten Pädagoginnen, klareren Social-Media-Regeln und strukturierten Unterstützungsangeboten ein zentraler Baustein, um die mentale Gesundheit junger Menschen im Bildungssystem langfristig zu stabilisieren.
