ECC204 Secure Authentication IC

Microchip's ECC204 ECDSA sign and HMAC operations feature common criteria JIL high secure key storage

Image of Microchip's ECC204 Secure Authentication ICMicrochip's ECC204 is a member of the CryptoAuthentication™ product family. The device is targeted for disposable and ecosystem control applications and is intended to be used as a companion device with Microchip or other vendors’ microcontrollers. Consider implementing an ATECC608 in the user's host to perform the ECDSA P256 verify function of the signature the disposable or accessory would return. Users can leverage that same ATECC608 for mutual authentication to an IoT cloud platform.

For Qi 1.3 wireless charging in consumer applications, refer to the ECC204 TrustFLEX WPC.
