1.5 JCOPX - Additional Application Programming Interface (APIs)
1.6 Security features
NXP Semiconductors offers a pre-personalizations service where customer specific
initialization data can be preprogrammed. This data can be die individual card manager
keys, symmetric DES-or AES keys, random data, X509 certificates, RSA signing keys or
any other constant data like application code.
features
JCOP provides extended support for several industry specific requirements. This support
is given with the JCOPX API that comprises following functionality:
More details about the JCOPX API can be found in JCOP User Manual (see
The A700x family security concept is combining a comprehensive portfolio of NXP
security measures which is protecting the chip against all types of attacks. All in all there
are more than 100 security features in an NXP security chip to protect against attacks
from outside. NXP Semiconductors apply their extensive knowledge of chip security to
harden the chip against any kinds of attacks.
The counter measures against reverse engineering attacks i.e. the dedicated security
CPU designed in asynchronous handshaking circuit technology, the very dense
sub-micron 5-metal-layer 0.14 m technology, the NXP glue logic and active shielding
technology are providing highest level of attack resilience which is unique in the market.
Secure Fetch Technology will significantly enhance the chip hardware security for a
certain class of light and laser attacks to the chip hardware. More specifically, Secure
Fetch offers increased protection against attacks with higher spatial resolution and against
both those with shorter and with longer light pulses; both with single and with multiple
pulses. It protects both the device memory and code fetching operations from ROM, RAM
and EEPROM, greatly increasing the probability that fault injection attacks are detected.
This unique security technology offers increased protection against future attack
scenarios with light and laser sources, facilitating the development of highly secure
software applications for customers.
The A700x family security concept includes dedicated HW measures to protect against
any kind of leakage attacks. The Triple-DES coprocessor provides a high level of
leak-resistance to 1st order DPA, thus equally well resilient against all kinds of leakage
attacks.
