Description
Based on ATMEL Smart Card chip design expertise and leadership, the
AT98SC016CU is a fully integrated secure solution (Hardware and Firmware)
designed for embedded systems (Servers/Routers, Peripherals, Set Top Boxes,
PDAs, Vending/gaming machines, etc.).
This secure chip has been designed to serve anti-cloning, access control and
hardware protection applications. It provides an embedded crypto application allowing
a strong authentication, digital signature, encryption, message digest and secure
storage of user data (keys, etc.).
The AT98SC016CU includes a hardware Triple DES supporting symmetric-key
operations and a 32-bit crypto accelerator for public-key operations (RSA, DSA and
Elliptic Curves signature algorithms).
The chip comprises also a FIPS 140-2 Random Number Generator used to generate
on-chip public keys and challenges during authentication process.
Communication can occur through SPI or TWI using a proprietary block protocol, or
through the ISO7816 UART interface using T=0 or T=1.
In addition to the crypto application, the chip provides a robust communication
protocol, a persistent data storage with secure memory management (access control,
anti-tearing), and an administration application to manage contents and configuration
of the chip.
State-of-the-art security features embedded in Smart Card secure products dedicated
for Banking, ID and Pay-TV are also included in the AT98SC016CU. This includes
power and frequency protection logic, logical scrambling on data and address, power
