HCS512
7.3 Key Generation Algorithms
There are two key generation algorithms implemented in the HCS512 decoder. The KEELOQ decryption algorithm pro-
vides a higher level of security than the XOR algorithm. Section 6.1 describes the selection of the algorithms in the con-
figuration byte.
7.3.1 KEELOQ DECRYPT ALGORITHM
This algorithm uses the KEELOQ decryption algorithm and the manufacturer’s code to derive the crypt key as follows:
Key _{Upper 32 bits} = Decrypt (SourceH) _{64 Bit Manufacturers Code}
Key _{Lower 32 bits} = Decrypt (SourceL) _{64 Bit Manufacturers Code}
7.3.2 XOR WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S CODE
The two 32-bits seeds are XOR with the manufacturer’s code to form the 64 bit crypt key.
Key _{Upper 32 bits} = SourceH XOR Manufacturers Code _{Upper 32 bits}
Key _{Lower 32 bits} = SourceL XOR Manufacturers Code _{Lower 32 bits}
After programming the manufacturer’s code, the HCS512 decoder will automatically activate an Erase All function,
removing all transmitters from the system.
If LRNIN is taken low momentarily during the learn status indication, the indication will be terminated. Once a successful
learning sequence is detected, the indication can be terminated, allowing quick learning in a manufacturing setup.
