Description

Based on ATMEL Smart Card chip design expertise and leadership, the

AT98SC016CU is a fully integrated secure solution (Hardware and Firmware)

designed for embedded systems (Servers/Routers, Peripherals, Set Top Boxes,

PDAs, Vending/gaming machines, etc.).

This secure chip has been designed to serve anti-cloning, access control and

hardware protection applications. It provides an embedded crypto application allowing

a strong authentication, digital signature, encryption, message digest and secure

storage of user data (keys, etc.).

The AT98SC016CU includes a hardware Triple DES supporting symmetric-key

operations and a 32-bit crypto accelerator for public-key operations (RSA, DSA and

Elliptic Curves signature algorithms).

The chip comprises also a FIPS 140-2 Random Number Generator used to generate

on-chip public keys and challenges during authentication process.

Communication can occur through SPI or TWI using a proprietary block protocol, or

through the ISO7816 UART interface using T=0 or T=1.

In addition to the crypto application, the chip provides a robust communication

protocol, a persistent data storage with secure memory management (access control,

anti-tearing), and an administration application to manage contents and configuration

of the chip.

State-of-the-art security features embedded in Smart Card secure products dedicated

for Banking, ID and Pay-TV are also included in the AT98SC016CU. This includes

power and frequency protection logic, logical scrambling on data and address, power
