The AT98SC016CU has been specifically designed to address the increasing security needs of embedded systems. It has high-security functions that provide efficient counter-measures against hacking, cloning, phishing, counterfeiting, data and IP stealing. This secure solution is thus suitable for applications such as DRM, e-tokens, gaming consoles, set-top-boxes, network appliances, metering devices, door locks, vending machines, franking machines or tachometers. The product's wide choice of interfaces (TWI, SPI, ISO7816 for smart-card applications) makes the physical integration in any existing system fast and easy. The device features powerful cryptographic algorithms.
