ATAES132 is the first authentication product of its kind. Its functions and footprint are compatible with a standard serial EEPROM. Currently, this is the only device in the market with a standard serial EEPROM footprint built for authentication that uses the AES crypto algorithm. In addition, it is a high security design with full-chip active metal shields and countermeasures against all known popular attacks. Furthermore, the construction of ATAES132 utilizes secure test methodology using test interfaces that are completely disabled as part of the manufacturing process, so there are no potential backdoors. The whole functionality of the chip is done in hardware logic, so it is not susceptible to corruption. In short, the ATAES132 uses the latest in hardware security techniques to offer security solutions that last.
