ABRIDGED DATA SHEET

DeepCover Secure Microcontroller with Fast Wipe Technology and Cryptography
embedded security solutions cloak sensitive data under multiple layers of advanced physical security to provide the most secure key storage possible.

The DeepCover Secure Microcontroller MAXQ1851 is a lowpower, 32-bit RISC device designed for electronic commerce, banking, and data security systems. It combines high-performance, single-cycle processing, sophisticated tamper-detection technology, and advanced cryptographic hardware to provide industry-leading data security and secret key protection.

Physical security mechanisms include environmental sensors that detect out of range voltage or temperature conditions, responding with rapid zeroization of critical data. Four self-destruct inputs are provided for additional tamper response. An internal shield over the silicon provides protection from microprobe attacks. A high-speed internal ring oscillator is provided to thwart attacks that rely on controlling the clock rate of the chip. To protect data, the MAXQ1851 integrates several high-speed encryption engines. Algorithms supported in hardware include AES 128-, 192-, and 256-bit , DES, triple DES 2-key and 3-key , ECDSA 160-, 192-, and 256-bit keys , DSA, RSA up to 2048 bits , SHA-1, SHA-224, and SHA-256. The device’s advanced security features are designed to meet the stringent requirements of regulations such as ITSEC E3 High, FIPS 140-2 Level 3, and the Common Criteria certifications.

The MAXQ1851 includes 256KB of flash memory, 8KB of SRAM, 4KB of AES encryptable battery-backed SRAM, and 256-bit secure, battery-backed, flip-flop-based key storage. Several communication protocols are supported with hardware engines, including ISO 7816 for smart card applications, USB slave interface with four end-point buffers , an RS-232 universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver-transmitter USART , an SPI interface master or slave mode support , and up to 16 general-purpose I/O pins. Other peripherals supported on the MAXQ1851 include a true hardware random-number generator RNG , a real-time clock RTC , a programmable watchdog timer, and flexible 16-bit timers that support capture, compare, and pulse-width modulation PWM operations.

Detailed Description

The MAXQ1851 is designed for electronic commerce, banking, and data security systems that require secure access control, secure data storage, digital signature, or certificate authentication. For example, it can be used for PIN pads and to act as a coprocessor for higher end POS terminals. The controller combines low power operation with high-performance cryptographic accelerators, advanced security features, and advanced semiconductor process technologies to meet the most stringent needs of security applications. Sensitive data such as keys are shielded within and never need to leave the MAXQ1851, thwarting PCB level attacks. On-chip tamper sensors and an internal active die shield deter physical attacks against the device. Custom-designed cryptographic hardware and unique countermeasures protect against logical and statistical attacks, such as differential or simple power analysis. The MAXQ1851 provides self-destruct inputs SDI1−SDI4 as well as a multitude of environmental monitors including temperature, battery voltage, and VDD voltage.

The MAXQ1851 offers a rich set of peripherals including serial I/O, SPI, USB, and ISO 7816 smart card interfaces for efficient communication. Each MAXQ1851 has a
universally unique identification number for device management and to prevent cloning.

The MAXQ1851 contains the hardware-accelerated cryptography units required for system certification under ITSEC E3 High, FIPS 140-2 Level 3, Common Criteria, and the USPS PCIBI-C standard. The MAXQ1851 is designed to meet the security requirements of the Visa PCI Payment Card Industry specification as part of an overall system solution.

The cryptographic accelerator supports both symmetric cryptography AES, DES, 3DES, both two-key and threekey and asymmetric cryptography RSA, DSA, ECC . The MAXQ1851 can internally generate, store, and check digital signatures DSA, ECDSA, RSA , secure hash algorithms SHA , and cryptographic keys a secure, FIPS 186-2-compliant hardware RNG and an RTC are built into the device.
