Chip Identification
The chip includes a total of 72-bits of information that can be used to distinguish between individual chips in a
reliable manner. The information is distributed between the ROM and fuse blocks in the following manner.
Serial Number
Manufacturing ID This 24-bit value is composed of ROM MfrID (16-bits) and Fuse MfrID (8-bits). Typically this
Key Values
The values stored in the Atmel AT88SA10HS internal key array are hardwired into the masking layers of the chip
during wafer manufacture. All chips have the same keys stored internally, though the value of a particular key
cannot be determined externally from the chip. For this reason, customers should ensure they program a unique
(and secret) number into the 64-secret fuses and they should store the Atmel provided key values securely.
Individual key values are made available to qualified customers upon request to Atmel and are always transmitted
in a secure manner.
When the serial number is included in the MAC calculation, the response is considered to be diversified and the
host needs to know the base secret in order to be able to verify the authenticity of the client. A diversified
response can also be obtained by including the serial number in the computation of the value written to the secret
fuses. The AT88SA10HS provides a secure hardware mechanism to validate responses to determine if they are
authentic.
SHA-256 Computation
AT88SA10HS performs only one cryptographic calculation – a keyed digest of an input challenge. It optionally
includes various other information stored on the chip within the digested message.
The AT88SA10HS computes the SHA-256 digest based on the algorithm documented here:
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips180-2/fips180-2.pdf
As a security measure, the 24-bit MfrID code (both ROM and Fuse bits) is automatically included in every
message digested by the AT88SA10HS. The secret fuses are conditionally appended, depending on the
parameters to the HOST command.
For complete sample calculations, refer to”Atmel AT88SA100S” and/or “Atmel AT88SA102S” datasheets.
These 23-fuses should be used to store information which is not secret, as their value can
always be determined using the Read command. Typical usage would be model or
configuration information. They cannot be automatically included in the messages to be
hashed by the HOST commands, but the system may read them and pass them back to
HOST1 in the input stream if desired.
This fuse is used to prevent access to fuses on chips in which a partial set of fuses has been
burned. This fuse must be burned using the BurnSecure command.
This 48-bit value is composed of ROM SN (16-bits) and Fuse SN (32-bits). Together they
form a serial number that is guaranteed to be unique for all devices ever manufactured within
the Atmel
calculation.
value is the same for all chips of a given type. It is always included in the cryptographic
computations.
