CryptoAuthentication™ devices increase product value by enhancing privacy. As systems are increasingly storing and sharing personal and other private data, they can become big targets for hackers. Using hardware crypto engines protects user’s identification, which is the key to privacy. They accomplish this by storing the secret key in a hardware device. Hardware key storage is far superior to storing the key in software in the host processor. The value of Microchip CryptoAuthentication™ comes from providing users with a turnkey, tested device that is not subject to software bugs that can be exploited by hackers. The devices provide many levels of security to preserve privacy, protect brand equity, and enhance revenue streams. In addition to the hardware “ID vault” the devices implement secure booting, encrypted downloads, anti-cloning, and strong password protection, which all contribute to a robust security solution for users.
