Safeguard Your IP with Cost Effective Hardware Security Solutions
Design security isn’t always a top consideration. However, with security breaches becoming more common and more costly, protecting your intellectual property (IP) should be a key concern. The Atmel CryptoAuthentication™ family of solutions offers an extremely cost-effective hardware authentication capability in a wide variety of space-conscious packages. CryptoAuthentication ICs can securely validate a wide variety of physical or logical elements in virtually any microprocessor-based system. The device family supports the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-256), one of the latest algorithms approved by cryptographic experts and governments around the world. By implementing a CryptoAuthentication IC into your design, you can take advantage of hardware security fortifications like full active metal shields, multiple tamper detection schemes and internal encryption.
Every CryptoAuthentication device contains a pre-programmed serial number that is guaranteed unique. The devices also include generous, secure storage segmented into zones which can be individually configured to meet a wide variety of applications. In addition, the devices feature a high-quality hardware random number generator usable for authentication or any other system purpose.
