General description

The ICODE DNA is a leading-edge HF tag IC targeting brand protection tagging

applications which require HF long read range as well as cryptographic authentication

check.The security is based in the first place on a 128-bit AES key which is securely

stored on IC’s and which is used to perform cryptographic authentication by an AES

coprocessor. The current version of the ICODE DNA supports the following features:

1.1 Contactless energy and data transfer

Whenever connected to a very simple and easy-to-produce type of antenna (as a result of

the 13.56 MHz carrier frequency) made out of a few windings printed, winded, etched or

punched coil, the ICODE DNA IC can be operated without line of sight up to a distance of

1.5 m (gate width). No battery is needed. When the smart label is positioned in the field of

an interrogator antenna, the high-speed RF communication interface enables data to be

transmitted up to 53 kbit/s.

1.2 Anticollision

An intelligent anticollision function enables several tags to operate in the field

simultaneously. The anticollision algorithm selects each tag individually and ensures that

the execution of a transaction with a selected tag is performed correctly without data

corruption resulting from other tags in the field.

1.3 Security and privacy aspects

The UID cannot be altered and guarantees the uniqueness of each label.

32 byte ECC-based originality signature.
