SL-SSISE011301V1 Secure Authentication

Running on a CC EAL5+ platform, STMicroelectronics' STSAFE-A is a highly secure authentication solution with security features certified by independent third parties. Its command set is tailored to ensure strong device authentication, monitor device usage, assist a nearby host secure channel establishment (TLS), and safeguard host platform integrity.

In the STMicroelectronics solution, the STSAFE-A110 secure element provides a unique identification with an X.509 certificate that ensures strict device authentication to prevent the counterfeiting of genuine peripherals and IoT devices.

As a companion chip to STM32 microcontrollers, the STSAFE-A110 is easily integrated into existing solutions, especially thanks to the comprehensive STM32 development ecosystem.

ST recommends using an STM32L476RG, an ultra-low-power microcontroller based on the high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M4 32-bit RISC core operating at a frequency of up to 80 MHz. The Cortex-M4 core features a single-precision floating point unit (FPU) format, which supports all Arm single-precision data-processing instructions and data types. It also implements a full set of digital signal processor (DSP) instructions and a memory protection unit (MPU) that enhances application security.
