Maxim announces Sampling of New Chipsets with Enhanced Security
For a host controller to authenticate peripherals, Maxim Integrated Products has announced that it is now sampling the DeepCover Secure Authenticator DS28E35, which increases security and simplifies interconnect complexity in medical sensors and industrial applications.
Scott Jones, Executive Director, Maxim Integrated, said, Customers are increasingly looking for the advantages offered by asymmetric public-key cryptography for their secure authentication needs. We have combined our extensive embedded security expertise with the integration of key features to provide a solution that is both cryptographically and physically secure and easy to add to an end application.
The use of ECDSA public-key cryptography saves cost and reduces key management complexity by eliminating the need for additional secure authentication key storage ICs in the host system. The DS28E35 operates with a key pair. It is imperative, however, to protect the private key stored in the DS28E35. This is accomplished through Maxim’s DeepCover security technologies, which provide the strongest affordable protection against die-level attacks that attempt to discover the private key.
The DeepCover Secure authenticator easily adapts to a host-peripheral system.
The integrated authenticator is available in a 6-pin TSOC package and a 2mm x 3mm 8-pin TDFN-EP package. Pricing of the authenticator starts at $1.08.
