SAN JOSE, Calif. and
CANNES, France, Nov. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Developers of
Industrial IoT (IIoT) and connected embedded systems can now design
in an added level of trust while also bringing their products to
market faster with the MAXQ1061 DeepCover® cryptographic
controller from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM).

With the increase in cyber-attacks to critical connected
infrastructures, security can no longer be an afterthought in
system design. In a recent survey conducted by Electronic Design of
2,200 electronic engineers, 60% of respondents said security in
their products is very important, and 96% think that security will
either have the same or more importance for their products
(Reference 1). Designed to meet Common Criteria EAL4+ requirements,
the MAXQ1061 empowers engineers to quickly design security into
their products and protect the endpoints of a network.
The MAXQ1061 integrates a comprehensive cryptographic toolbox
that provides full support for a wide spectrum of security needs,
ranging from key generation and storage, to digital signature and
encryption up to SSL/TLS/DTLS. It can also support secure boot for
most host processors. To withstand extreme industrial environments,
the MAXQ1061 operates across the -40-degree Celsius to +109-degree
Celsius temperature range—the widest compared to other similar
products—and is available in TSSOP-14.
The MAXQ1061 embeds 32KB of user programmable secure EEPROM for
storing certificates, public keys, private and secret keys, and
arbitrary user data. The EEPROM is managed through a flexible
filesystem enabling custom security policy enforcement. Its
cryptographic algorithms include ECC (up to NIST P-521), ECDSA
signature generation and verification, SHA-2 (up to SHA-512) secure
hash, AES-128/-256 with support for ECB, CBC, and CCM modes, and
MAC digest. The MAXQ1061 also provides a separate hardware AES
engine over SPI, supporting AES-GCM and AES-ECB modes, and that can
be used to off-load a host processor for fast stream
encryption.
Key Advantages
- Full security: Includes TLS/SSL host stack and
comprehensive software support, as well as certificates
distribution and management; easy to design strong protection into
systems
- Turnkey: No firmware development required; speeds time
to market
- Industrial temperature: -40-degrees Celsius to
+109-degrees Celsius; only cryptographic controller with this wide
range
Commentary
- "The MAXQ1061 provides a hardware root of trust; its
comprehensive set of cryptographic functions fulfill the key
security requirements of the embedded systems of tomorrow," said
Christophe Tremlet, Executive Business Manager, Embedded Security,
Maxim Integrated. "With the MAXQ1061, our customers have a trusted
device that will not only guarantee the integrity and authenticity
of the system, but also secure communications."
- "The MAXQ1061 provides ideal hardware security to complement
our software solution for the Floodgate Defender Appliance™
allowing customers to easily secure their legacy equipment
economically," said Ernie Rudolph,
Executive Vice President, Icon Labs.
Availability and Pricing
- An evaluation kit is available under NDA request:
MAXQ1061-KIT#
- MAXQ1061-KIT# pricing starts at $100.00
- MAXQ1061 unit pricing starts at $2.64 (1,000-up, FOB USA)
