DESCRIPTION

· MAXQ1061/MAXQ1062 cryptographic controller ensures secure key storage and full security implementation for embedded, connected products.

· Offers a comprehensive cryptographic toolbox with key generation, storage, SSL/TLS/DTLS support, and secure bootloader capabilities.

· Features 32KB (MAXQ1061) or 8KB (MAXQ1062) user-programmable EEPROM for secure storage of certificates, keys, and data.

· Controlled via SPI or I2C interface with life cycle management and secure key loading protocols.

· Supports AES, ECC, ECDSA, SHA, MAC algorithms, and includes a true random number generator.

· Meets FIPS and Common Criteria EAL4+ certifications with advanced physical, environmental, and logical protections.

FEATURES

· Advanced cryptographic toolbox with seamless key storage support.

· Secure file system based on nonvolatile EEPROM for key and certificate storage.

· Supports symmetric-key (AES-128/-256) and asymmetric-key (ECC NIST P-256, -521, -384, Brainpool BP-256, -384, -512) algorithms.

· Includes secure hash (SHA-256, -384, -512) and MAC digest (CBC-MAC, HMAC-SHA256, HMAC-SHA384, HMAC-SHA512, ECIES) algorithms.

· Features ECDSA signature schemes and EC Diffie-Hellman key exchange.

· 128-bit AES stream encryption engine over SPI with AES-GCM and AES-ECB modes.
