The Raven supports Intel AES instructions to enable fast hardware encryption and decryption of data processed through the board. Additionally, a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is included to provide enhanced system integrity and to defend against attacks from unauthorized software access. Cybersecurity has become a major initiative in many industries such as Defense and Healthcare to protect from counterfeit hardware or unauthorized software. For example, in 2014, the United States Department of Defense (DoD) specified that "new computer assets procured to support DoD will include a TPM version 1.2 or higher where required by DISA STIGs and where such technology is available.“ The Raven's wide input voltage range (8 V to 30 V) simplifies system power supply requirements. The Raven is fully compatible with 12 V or 24 V vehicle applications. In addition, Reverse Voltage Protection and Over Voltage Protection enhance field durability and reliability. Additionally, protection is provided for damaging transient voltages, over voltage, and RF intrusion. The Raven power supply circuitry guards the embedded system from several common types of power-induced malfunction and damage.
