The AT88CK109STK3Starter Kit is a development kit for the AT88SA100, AT88SA102, and AT8810HS CryptoAuthentication devices that gives developers a tool they can use to develop applications for protection of confidential files, encrypting downloads, performing a two factor logon, product authentication, or the prevention of software piracy. The development kit includes a AT88Microbase board with a convenient USB interface allowing the user to connect to a personal computer and the AT88CK109BK3 daughter board included in the kit that interfaces to the AT88Microbase via a 10-pin header. The daughter board has two 3-pin SOT23 sockets for either client or client-host development. The AT88CK109STK3 software developed on the PC can also serve as the base for code to be ported to an embedded microcontroller. The source code can also be edited for integration with ARM or other platforms.

This kit uses a modular approach enabling the daughter card to connect directly to an STK series AVR development platform, which allows developers to easily add security to their application. An optional adapter kit, AT88CK301ADP is also available where the 10-pin header on the daughter card requires a different pin out.

A friendly utility is used to demonstrate the functionality of the CryptoAuthentication device. Available for download from the AT88SC-ADK2 web page are complete source code for the AVR, a detailed users guide, schematics, gerber files, and a bill of materials for both the AT88Microbase and AT88CK109BK3 daughter card.
