Introduction of ATECC608A-SSHDA-T

The ATECC608A-SSHDA-T is a specialized integrated circuit (IC), designed for secure authentication and communication applications. It is a secure element IC that comes with hardware-backed cryptographic support. The ATECC608A-SSHDA-T supports symmetric, asymmetric, and hashing cryptographic algorithms, as well as hardware key storage with hardware-backed security. The ATECC608A-SSHDA-T was developed by Atmel, now part of Microchip Technology, as an optimized secure element ic targeted for use in securely to communicate with connected devices. Atmel’s ATECC608A-SSHDA-T is a single-chip, low power, single-interface, 76-pin device with 4k of flash memory and eight kB of RAM. It is designed for applications operating in temperature ranges of -40°C to +125°C and provide a secure communication link with secure key generation, secure messaging, and authentication.

Applications of ATECC608A-SSHDA-T

The ATECC608A-SSHDA-T is primarily targeted at the field of secure authentication and communications. Atmel’s secure elements provide complete, cost-effective, and easy-to-implement authentication solutions with AES-128, ECC-p256, and SHA-256 for secure communications and data protection. This IC is ideally suited for secure communication applications such as Apple HomeKit, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), ZigBee, and other wireless communication applications. Additionally, ATECC608A-SSHDA-T has support for secure cloud communication providing a secure connection between embedded systems and cloud services.The ATECC608A-SSHDA-T is also suitable for securing critical data in wireless networks, for digitally signing and decrypting sensitive data in critical systems, for protecting credentials in point of sale (POS) terminals and office equipment, and for authenticating automobile components.

Working Principle of ATECC608A-SSHDA-T

The ATECC608A-SSHDA-T is a specialized secure element IC that provides hardware-backed security to authentication and communication applications. It supports symmetric, asymmetric, and hashing crypto algorithms, as well as hardware key storage. The ATECC608A-SSHDA-T also provides secure key generation, secure messaging, and authentication.The core of the ATECC608A-SSHDA-T is its cryptographic coprocessor. This coprocessor provides three core cryptographic services: symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, and hashing. It works with three cryptographic keys — root, authentication, and encryption — for secure messaging and authentication. The ATECC608A-SSHDA-T has two separate 32-byte (256-bit) keys for each of these services. One key is for authentication, and the other is for encryption. In addition, it has a 4K bit of flash memory that stores application and configuration data, as well as a self-test module for verifying the IC against power-up or thermal events.The IC also supports a number of digital signatures, including ECDSA, ECDH, RSA, and SHA as well as tools for secure storage of private keys, random number generators, and a secure channel for packet protection. ATECC608A-SSHDA-T has support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) P256 to provide secure key genration and authentication.
