DS28E15
Description
Deep Cover™ embedded security solutions cloak sensitive data under multiple layers of advanced physical security to provide the most secure key storage possible.
The Deep Cover Secure Authenticator (DS28E15) bines crypto-strong bidirectional secure challenge-andresponse authentication functionality with an implementation based on the FIPS 180-3-specified Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-256). A 512-bit user-programmable EEPROM array provides nonvolatile storage of application data. Additional protected memory holds a read-protected secret for SHA-256 operations and settings for memory protection control. Each device has its own guaranteed unique 64-bit ROM identification number (ROM ID) that is factory programmed into the chip. This unique ROM ID is used as a fundamental input parameter for cryptographic operations and also serves as an electronic serial number within the application. A bidirectional security model enables two-way authentication between a host system and...
