The middleware software pack includes the following components:

Network	The Network component includes services, protocol sockets, and physical communication interfaces for creating TCP/IP networking applications. It supports IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack networking and can be used with Mbed TLS to provide secure communication using SSL/TLS.
USB	The USB component supports USB Device and USB Host communication using standard USB device classes.
File System	The File System component lets you create, save, read, and modify files in storage devices such as RAM, Flash, SD/SDHC/MMC memory cards, or USB memory devices.

Third-party Components

While MDK-Middleware is a full-featured set of software components, it cannot cater for all needs. Therefore, we work closely with third parties to widen the offer even more. Here are some of the third party tools and services that we can recommend when using our middleware:

SSL/TLS support	Mbed TLS provides secure communication using SSL/TLS.
SNMPS support	The SNMP agent does not support secure connections. The SNMP agent of DMH Software offers secure channels for v1, v2, and v3. It has been tested to work with the Network component.
Achilles test suite	Every device that is connected to a network is a potential target of a cyber attack. This also counts for devices that are not connected to public networks - a private network might get hacked and all devices attached to it compromised. Thus, the industry has a strong drive towards safety and security. Dedicated vulnerability tests enable you to check your equipment throughout the development stage. One of these tests is the Achilles Test Platform by GE Digital. The Network component has been checked with the Achilles Test Software (ATS) and passes Level 1 tests. Thus, all Arm Cortex-M based microcontrollers using the Network component, should pass the Achilles Level 1 certification.
