1 Introduction
1.1 Applications
The Atmel ATECC508A is a member of the Atmel CryptoAuthentication family of crypto engine authentication
devices with highly secure hardware-based key storage.
The ATECC508A has a flexible command set that allows use in many applications, including the following,
among many others:
Network/IoT Node Protection
Authenticates node IDs, ensures the integrity of messages, and supports key agreement to create session
keys for message encryption.
Anti-Counterfeiting
Validates that a removable, replaceable, or consumable client is authentic. Examples of clients could be
system accessories, electronic daughter cards, or other spare parts. It can also be used to validate a
software/firmware module or memory storage element.
Protecting Firmware or Media
Validates code stored in flash memory at boot to prevent unauthorized modifications, encrypt downloaded
program files as a common broadcast, or uniquely encrypt code images to be usable on a single system
only.
Storing Secure Data
Store secret keys for use by crypto accelerators in standard microprocessors. Programmable protection is
available using encrypted/authenticated reads and writes.
Checking User Password
Validates user-entered passwords without letting the expected value become known, maps memorable
passwords to a random number, and securely exchanges password values with remote systems.
