Preconfigured ICs enable secure key storage

Microchip’s CryptoAuthentication ICs for secure key provisioning are preconfigured to reduce development time and accelerate prototyping. As part of the TrustFLEX platform, the ECC204, SHA104, and SHA105 offer hardware-based secure storage to prevent unauthorized attacks.

The chips come preconfigured with defined use cases, customizable cryptographic keys, and code examples to simplify development. Microchip expects these devices to lower the barrier to secure key provisioning, making them particularly suitable for high-volume, cost-sensitive applications.

ECC20x and SHA10x devices achieve a High Joint Interpretation Library (JIL) score for secure key storage. They are also NIST-certified under ESV and CAVP, complying with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). These secure ICs enable trusted authentication to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data and communications across various systems and applications.

The ECC20x and SHA10x ICs are supported by the Trust Platform Design Suite, which offers secure credential transfer for integration with Microchip’s key provisioning service. Devices are also compatible with the MPLAB X IDE and CryptoAuthentication library.

Prices for the ECC204 start at $0.52 each in lots of 2000 units. Prices for the SHA104 and SHA105 start at $0.50 each in like quantities. To learn more about the Trust Platform, click here.
