1 Introduction

The A5000 is a ready-to-use secure IoT authenticator. It provides a root of trust at the IC

level and it gives an IoT authentication system state-of-the-art security capability right out

of the box.

A5000 allows for securely storing and provisioning credentials and performing

cryptographic operations for security critical communication and authentication functions.

A5000 is versatile in IoT security use cases such as secure connection to public/private

clouds, device-to-device authentication or counterfeit protection

A5000 has an independent Common Criteria EAL 6+ security certification up to OS level

and supports ECC asymmetric cryptographic and AES/3DES symmetric algorithms. The

latest security measures protect the IC even against sophisticated non-invasive and

invasive attack scenarios.

The A5000 is a turnkey solution that comes with an authentication application optimized

for authentication security use cases pre-installed. This is complemented by an

authentication tailored product support package, enabling fast time to market & easy

design-in with Plug & Trust middleware for host applications, easy to use development

kits, reference designs, and documentation for product evaluation.

To implement inclusive language, the terms "master/slave" has been replaced by

"controller/target", following the recommendation of MIPI.
