DS28E25
DeepCover Secure Authenticator with
1-Wire SHA-256 and 4Kb User EEPROM
General Description
DeepCover™ embedded security solutions cloak sensi-
tive data under multiple layers of advanced physical
security to provide the most secure key storage possible.
The DeepCover Secure Authenticator (DS28E25) com-
bines crypto-strong, bidirectional, secure challenge-
and-response authentication functionality with an imple-
mentation based on the FIPS 180-3-specified Secure
Hash Algorithm (SHA-256). A 4Kb user-programmable
EEPROM array provides nonvolatile storage of applica-
tion data and additional protected memory holds a read-
protected secret for SHA-256 operations and settings
for user memory control. Each device has its own guar-
anteed unique 64-bit ROM identification number (ROM
ID) that is factory programmed into the chip. This unique
ROM ID is used as a fundamental input parameter for
cryptographic operations and also serves as an elec-
tronic serial number within the application. A bidirectional
security model enables two-way authentication between
a host system and slave-embedded DS28E25. Slave-to-
host authentication is used by a host system to securely
validate that an attached or embedded DS28E25 is
authentic. Host-to-slave authentication is used to protect
DS28E25 user memory from being modified by a non-
authentic host. The SHA-256 message authentication
code (MAC), which the DS28E25 generates, is computed
from data in the user memory, an on-chip secret, a host
random challenge, and the 64-bit ROM ID. The DS28E25
communicates over the single-contact 1-Wire
M
bus at
overdrive speed. The communication follows the 1-Wire
protocol with the ROM ID acting as node address in the
case of a multiple-device 1-Wire network.
