DM320118 CryptoAuth Trust Platform

The DM320118 from Microchip Technology is a CryptoAuth Trust Platform addition to the Crypto Authentication™ evaluation kits. This kit is used for exploring and developing solutions for the IoT space with a pre-provisioned ATECC608A Trust&GO, preconfigured TrustFLEX, and fully customizable TrustCUSTOM products. The Trust&GO and TrustFLEX products have been developed to allow for an easy way to add hardware security to IoT Cloud solutions. Using the kit with the Microchip development tools and provisioning systems allows for customers with low volume projects to easily and readily implement secure authentication into their application.

The ATECC608A is a secure element from the Microchip Crypto Authentication portfolio with advanced elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) capabilities. With ECDH and ECDSA being built right in, this device is ideal for the rapidly growing IoT market by easily supplying the full range of security such as confidentiality, data integrity, and authentication to systems with MCU or MPUs running encryption/decryption algorithms. Similar to all Microchip Crypto Authentication products, the ATECC608A employs ultra-secure hardware-based cryptographic key storage and cryptographic countermeasures which eliminate potential backdoors linked to software weaknesses. The device is agnostic of any microprocessor (MPU) or microcontroller (MCU) and compatible with Microchip AVR®/Arm® MCUs or MPUs. As with all Crypto Authentication devices, the ATECCC608A delivers extremely low power consumption and requires only a single GPIO over a wide voltage range. The ATECC608A also has a tiny form factor, making it ideal for a variety of applications requiring longer battery life and flexible form factors.
