Product Details
DeepCover® embedded security solutions cloak sensitive data under multiple layers of advanced physical security to provide the most secure key storage possible.
The DeepCover Secure Microcontroller (MAXQ1852) is a low-power, 32-bit RISC device designed for electronic commerce, banking, and data security systems. It combines high-performance, single-cycle processing, sophisticated tamper-detection technology, and advanced cryptographic hardware to provide industry-leading data security and secret key protection.
Physical security mechanisms include environmental sensors that detect out of range voltage or temperature conditions, responding with rapid zeroization of critical data. Four external dynamic tamper sensors allow for a user-defined tamper response. An internal shield over the silicon provides protection from microprobe attacks. A high-speed internal ring oscillator is provided to thwart attacks that rely on controlling the clock rate of the chip. To protect data, the device integrates several high-speed encryption engines. Algorithms supported in hardware include AES (128-, 192-, and 256-bit), DES, triple DES (2-key and 3-key), ECDSA (160-, 192-, and 256-bit keys), DSA, RSA (up to 2048 bits), SHA-1, SHA-224, and SHA-256. The device’s advanced security features are designed to meet the stringent requirements of regulations such as ITSEC E3 High, FIPS 140-2 Level 3, and the Common Criteria certifications.
The MAXQ1852 includes 256KB of flash memory, 8KB of SRAM, 4KB of AES encryptable battery-backed SRAM, and 256-bit secure, battery-backed, flip-flop-based key storage. Several communication protocols are supported with hardware engines, including ISO 7816 for smart card applications, USB (slave interface with four end-point buffers), an RS-232 universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver-transmitter (USART), an SPI interface (master or slave mode support). Other peripherals supported on the MAXQ1852 include a true hardware random-number generator (RNG), a real-time clock (RTC), a programmable watchdog timer, and flexible 16-bit timers that support capture, compare, and pulse-width modulation (PWM) operations.
