SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Designers of
internet of things (IoT) devices now have a smarter and more secure
way to protect stored, sensitive information with the highly
integrated MAX36010 and MAX36011 single-chip security
supervisors from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM).
These security solutions make it easier for designers to implement
robust tamper detection, cryptography and secure storage while
safeguarding sensitive information via logical and physical
protections, without having to be security experts themselves.

The MAX36010 and MAX36011 both offer strong security that
can be easily integrated into a design at any stage of its
development. Additionally, if these parts are integrated later in
the design cycle, there is no need to change the platform to
accommodate them, thereby simplifying the implementation process.
Compared to competitive solutions, the devices, due to their high
level of integration, facilitate a 60 percent faster design cycle,
while also lowering bill of materials (BOM) costs by 20 percent. To
ensure a higher level of security, these supervisors generate keys
via a true random number generator (TRNG). The keys are then stored
in battery-backed RAM along with certificates and other sensitive
data. This data is erased when tampering is detected, a capability
that meets the requirements of Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 at its highest security levels
(Levels 3 and 4).
The MAX36010 and MAX36011 both support symmetric and asymmetric
cryptographic functions such as Data Encryption Standard (3DES),
Advanced Encryption Standartd (AES), Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA)
and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). These
secure cryptographic engines are designed and compliant to the
requirements of Payment Card Industry (PCI) and FIPS140-2
certifications. The MAX36010 supports symmetric key generation for
AES and 3DES, whereas the MAX36011 supports both symmetric and
asymmetric key generations for AES, 3DES, RSA and ECDSA.
Key Advantages
- Highly integrated: Enables 60 percent faster design
cycle and 20 percent lower BOM costs versus the closest competitive
solution
-
- Includes temperature and voltage sensors, 1Kbyte of secure
storage, dynamic tamper sensors, real-time clock (RTC), and
TRNG—eliminating the need to use multiple discrete components
- Integrates multiple cryptographic functions including AES, DES,
RSA, ECDSA and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) hardware engine
- Host interfaces include SPI, Universal Asynchronous
Receiver/Transmitter (UART) and I2C; no firmware
development is required to connect to the host processor
- Robust hardware security: Battery-backed RAM provides
storage for sensitive information. Dynamic tamper sensors detect
hacking incidents and immediately delete sensitive information
- Ultra-low power: Offers 70 percent lower battery current
consumption compared to the closest competitive solution, which
extends end product battery life
Commentary
- "IoT devices have now become commonplace in consumer
households, which store personal and sensitive data related to the
user's day-to-day activities. While IoT designers have security top
of mind, they are not always experts in this area," said Stella Or,
product definer for the Micros, Security & Software Group at
Maxim Integrated. "Many of Maxim's customers find that the MAX36010
and MAX36011 are both very easy to integrate in their design and
most importantly, fulfill their security requirements, especially
customers looking to design devices that meet the highest level of
security and offer FIPS140-2 certification."
- "The exponential growth of IoT devices will continue on its
upward trend and is predicted to jump an average of 12 percent per
year from 27.8 billion units in 2017 to over 135 billion units in
2030," said Julian Watson, senior
principal analyst, IoT Connectivity at IHS Markit. "More IoT
devices in the market mean that more of consumers' personal data is
at risk and designers of these devices need to be responsible for
ensuring that the IoT ecosystem is genuinely safe and secure for
users."
