Memory-Mapped SHA-1 Coprocessor
General Description
The DSSHA1 coprocessor with 64-byte RAM is a synthesizable register transfer level (RTL) implementation of the FIPS 180-3 Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1), eliminating the need to develop software to perform the complex SHA-1 computation required for authenticating SHA-1 devices. The DSSHA1 can compute SHA-1 message authentication codes (MACs) for use with Maxim SHA-1 devices, such as the DS1963S, DS1961S, DS28E10, DS28E02, DS2460, DS28CN01, and DS28E01-100. The device can output the 20-byte MAC result from registers required for comparison against SHA-1 slave devices. When incorporated into a design, DSSHA1 also provides an offloading function, relieving a microcontroller of performing the SHA-1 computation.
