Part Details for MAX32625MBED# by Maxim Integrated Products

MAXREFDES168# is a software reference design that demonstrates authentication of the DS28E38 DeepCover® secure ECDSA authenticator with ChipDNA™ PUF protection in an embedded Arm®-based environment. The design includes example code for ECDSA authentication of the DS28E38 with the DS2476 secure coprocessor and an Eclipse™ project that utilizes the GCC compiler and OpenOCD on-chip debugger for a fully free and open-source toolchain.<p>The included project is configured for immediate use on the MAX32625MBED evaluation board, and Arm® Mbed Enabled™ devices are also supported through an alternate hardware interface. Porting the design to other processors requires only I2C master and timekeeping delay implementations.<p>The DS2476 coprocessor is used to securely perform ECDSA calculations and store keys. Using the DS2476 with processors that do not provide robust hardware security is highly recommended.<p>A driver for the DS2484 I2C to 1-Wire® bridge is also included to enable communication with the DS28E38 by processors that lack an integrated 1-Wire line driver.<p>All source code, including the authentication example and drivers for the DS28E38, DS2476, and DS2484, conforms to the ISO C++98 standard for maximum portability between compilers.<p>Application Benefits<p>Designed for Arm processors in bare-metal or OS environments.<p>Includes project for Eclipse, GCC, and OpenOCD toolchain.<p>Out-of-the-box support for the MAX32625MBED evaluation board.<p>Supports Arm Mbed Enabled devices.<p>Modular design enables rapid porting and integration.<p>ISO C++98-compatible source code for best compiler portability.<p>Key Features<p>ECDSA P256 public-key authentication protected by ChipDNA technology.<p>DS28E38 operates with a single-contact 1-Wire interface, requires no device-level firmware development, and simplifies key management.<p>Intellectual property and products are protected by a solution immune to invasive/physical attacks.
