with 1-Wire SHA-256 with 4Kb User EEPROM
General Description
DeepCoverK embedded security solutions cloak sensi-
tive data under multiple layers of advanced physical secu-
rity to provide the industry’s most secure key storage pos-
sible. The Deepcover Secure Authenticator (DS28EL25)
combines crypto-strong, bidirectional, secure challenge-
and-response authentication functionality with an imple-
mentation based on the FIPS 180-3-specified Secure
Hash Algorithm (SHA-256). A 4Kb user-programmable
EEPROM array provides nonvolatile storage of applica-
tion data and additional protected memory holds a read-
protected secret for SHA-256 operations and settings for
user memory 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 num-
ber within the application. A bidirectional security model
enables two-way authentication between a host system
and slave-embedded DS28EL25. Slave-to-host authenti-
cation is used by a host system to securely validate that
an attached or embedded DS28EL25 is authentic. Host-
to-slave authentication is used to protect DS28EL25 user
memory from being modified by a nonauthentic host. The
SHA-256 message authentication code (MAC), which the
DS28EL25 generates, is computed from data in the user
memory, an on-chip secret, a host random challenge,
and the 64-bit ROM ID. The DS28EL25 communicates
over the single-contact 1-Wire^M bus at overdrive speed.
The communication follows the 1-Wire protocol with the
ROM ID acting as node address in the case of a multiple-
device 1-Wire network.
