Microchip Technology has added the ECC204, SHA104 and SHA105 CryptoAuthentication™ ICs to its TrustFLEX portfolio of devices, services and tools.
ECC20x and SHA10x ICs are hardware-based, secure storage devices that are designed to keep secret keys hidden from unauthorized attacks. As part of the TrustFLEX platform, ECC204, SHA104 and SHA105 ICs are preconfigured with defined use cases, customizable cryptographic keys and code examples to streamline the development process.
“Adding the ECC20x and SHA10x pre-configured devices to our TrustFLEX platform will facilitate leveraging Microchip’s secure provisioning services for a broader set of applications,” Nuri Dagdeviren, corporate vice president of Microchip’s secure computing group.
“With this platform expansion, Microchip is continuing to strengthen its portfolio, making security authentication ICs more accessible and more specifically optimized for high-volume, cost-sensitive applications.”

ECC20x and SHA10x devices meet Common Criteria Joint Interpretation Library (JIL) High rated secure key storage requirements and have been certified by the NIST Entropy Source Validation (ESV) and Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) in compliance with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS).
The secure IC families are designed to implement trusted authentication to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of data and communications in a wide range of systems and applications.
Microchip’s CryptoAuthentication ICs are small, low-power devices that are designed to be compatible with any microprocessors (MPUs) or microcontrollers (MCUs).
They provide flexible solutions for securing industrial applications, medical devices, battery powered equipment and disposable applications. Additionally, the ECC204 is a Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) approved Qi authentication Secure Storage Subsystem (SSS).
