A1006 Datasheet Secure Authenticator Ic

Manufacturer: NXP Semiconductors

Overview: A1006 Secure Authenticator IC Rev. 1 — 25 July 2018 Product short data sheet 1. Introduction The A1006 Secure Authenticator IC is a secure, easy to use authentication IC for use in electronic accessories such as AC/DC adapters, cables, keyboards, docking stations, batteries, digital headsets, electronic cigarettes etc., for authentication and anti-counterfeiting purposes. NXP Semiconductors has a long track record and extensive portfolio of security ICs. NXP security ICs have been used in many high security applications including bank cards, health insurance cards, and electronic passports. They are also being used as embedded secure elements in mobile phones. The A1006 secure authentication IC extends this portfolio for applications requiring tamper-resistant, secure, one-way authentication.

General Description

The A1006 Secure Authenticator Solution is a complete embedded security platform for electronic accessories, mobile phones, portable devices, computing and consumer electronic devices, and embedded systems where a strong security infrastructure is required for authentication and counterfeit detection and prevention.

The A1006 provides an outstanding level of security, while overcoming the challenges of performance, power consumption and solution footprint.

The A1006 security solution is based on industry standard asymmetric cryptographic challenge-response protocols, using NIST approved elliptic curves, Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman challenge response (ECDH), and customizable X.509 certificates signed using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).

Key Features

  • Advanced security using unique asymmetrical public/private key based Diffie-Hellman authentication protocol based on ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) with a NIST B-163 bit strong binary field curve.
  • Authentication time (on-chip calculations) < 50 milliseconds.
  • Each A1006 is provisioned with a fixed unique Private Key and a corresponding Public Key in a certificate that contains the Public Key and additional information including a unique identifier and the customizable product-s.
