DS28C36 Datasheet Deepcover Secure Authenticator

Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices)

Overview: ABRIDGED DATA SHEET Click here for production status of specific part numbers.

General Description

The DS28C36 is a DeepCover® secure authenticator that provides a core set of cryptographic tools derived from integrated asymmetric (ECC-P256) and symmetric (SHA-256) security functions.

In addition to the security services provided by the hardware implemented crypto engines, the device integrates a FIPS/NIST true random number generator (RNG), 8Kb of secured EEPROM, a decrement-only counter, two pins of configurable GPIO, and a unique 64-bit ROM identification number (ROM ID).

The ECC public/private key capabilities operate from the NIST defined P-256 curve and include FIPS 186 compliant ECDSA signature generation and verification to support a bidirectional asymmetric key authentication model.
