CryptoAuthentication™
Datakey ’ s new CryptoAuthentication™ tokens are ideal for embedded systems that :
• Require ‘ cyber robust ’ removable memory devices for applications that include the transfer of passwords ( or other data needed for user authentication purposes ).
• Need physical transfer of security keys , certificates , sensitive data or system configuration files . At the heart of all devices in the CryptoAuthentication™ line of memory tokens is a Microchip CryptoAuthentication™ high-security hardware IC . Its features include :
• A unique and non-changeable 72-bit serial number ( set by Microchip )
• A 512bit one-time programmable ( OTP ) zone
• A random number generator
• A SHA-256 hash algorithm for data encryption . To understand how it could improve the security in your embedded system , we ’ re giving you a chance to win a CryptoAuthentication™ Development Kit !
