Development Kit for Development of CryptoMemory Devices - AT88SC-DK1 - Atmel

Atmel introduced its AT88SC-DK1, a development kit for CryptoMemory. AT88SC-DK1 simplifies the development process by providing a library that completely implements host cryptographic operations required for secure communication with CryptoMemory devices.

About CryptoMemory
CryptoMemory  is a low cost, high security memory which operate in both synchronous and asynchronous protocols. These devices will operate using the same T = 0 protocol as microprocessors, but do not require an operating system, making them easier to program and giving faster times to market. Security is provided through the use of encrypted passwords, mutual authentication, data encryption and encrypted checksums. CryptoMemory devices are available today for smart card or embedded applications with user memories from 1 kilobit to 256 kilobits of EEPROM. The CryptoMemory devices are compliant with ISO 7816-3 standard, EMV and PCSC protocol.

Atmel’s CryptoMemory development kit helps developer to develop CryptoMemory application without have to know the details of the cryptography and associated cryptographic algorithms of the CryptoMemory devices.

The AT88SC-DK1 CryptoMemory development kit provides evaluation and demonstration capabilities when used in conjunction with Atmel's STK500 development kit. This development kit serves Atmel's AT88SCxxxxC family of cryptographic memories, covering EEPROM densities from 1 Kbit to 256 Kbits.

The AT88SC-DK1 CryptoMemory development kit includes a daughter board, to adapt CryptoMemory to any existing embedded development environment with a two-wire interface, and a development library containing a low function count API. The development library is delivered as a highly-decoupled binary cryptographic core and a source code interface for easy integration.

The AT88SC-DK1 CryptoMemory development kit is available at US$49 each.
