Introduction
The AT88SA102S is a member of the CryptoAuthentication family
of cost-effective authentication chips designed to securely
authenticate an item to which it is attached. It can also be used to
exchange session keys with some remote entity so that the system
microprocessor can securely encrypt/decrypt data. Each
CryptoAuthentication chip contains
a pre-programmed serial
number which is guaranteed to be unique. In addition, it has been
designed to permit secure personalization so that third parties can
build devices containing an OEM secret without concern for the
theft of that secret.
It is the first small standard product to implement the SHA-256 hash
algorithm, which is part of the latest set of recommended algorithms
by the US Government. The 256 bit key space renders any
exhaustive attacks impossible.
The CryptoAuthentication family uses
response protocol to simplify programming. The system generates
random number challenge and sends it to the
a standard challenge
a
CryptoAuthentication chip. The chip hashes that with a 256 bit key
using the SHA-256 algorithm to generate a keyed 256 bit response
which is sent back to the system.
