Atmel has announced that its CryptoMemory product line is now available in plastic packages. These integrated circuits are said to be the industry's only low cost, high security memory chips with data encryption using synchronous protocols for embedded applications.
The CryptoMemory family of products, available from 1 Kb to 256 Kb, fills an industry need for affordable, secure devices for customers who require traditional plastic packages. Its secure nonvolatile EEPROM provides data security through an authentication protocol, data encryption and tamper-protection circuits. A common 2-wire serial interface is used for fast data rate exchanges. This innovative technology was previously only available in physical forms suitable for the smartcard market only.
The CryptoMemory family can be used to secure an endless array of embedded applications, says Atmel, including authenticating individual users who need access to sensitive information and securing data on printed circuit boards, networking systems, PDAs and other electronic equipment. The ability to authenticate OEM subassemblies within a system, including removable storage devices, automotive piece parts, and replaceable components such as printer cartridges, is now an affordable option, according to the company.
