DeepCover®embedded security solutions cloak sensitive data under multiple layers of advanced physical security to provide the most secure key storage possible. The DeepCover Secure Authenticator (DS24L65) is a SHA-256 coprocessor with built-in 1-Wire®master that provides the SHA-256 and memory functionality required by a host system to communicate with and operate a 1-Wire SHA-256 slave. In addition, it performs protocol conversion between the I²C master and any attached 1-Wire SHA-256 slaves. For 1-Wire line driving, internal user-adjustable timers relieve the system host processor from generating time-critical 1-Wire waveforms, supporting both standard and overdrive 1-Wire communication speeds. The 1-Wire line can be powered down under software control. Strong pullup features support 1-Wire power delivery to 1-Wire devices such as EEPROMs. When not in use, the DS24L65 can be put in sleep mode where power consumption is minimal.A DS24L65 evaluation board is included in each of the authenticator evaluation kits below.ApplicationsAuthentication of ConsumablesSecure Feature Control
