STMicroelectronics announced the AuKey turnkey counterfeit protection solution, based on ST23 highly secure microcontrollers, to help brand owners authenticate their products.
AuKey can be designed into various products, including computer accessories, add-in cards, gaming peripherals, printer cartridges, toners, disposable medical equipment, network infrastructure products, metering devices, and many other types of assemblies and systems.
Product authentication using secure microcontrollers is significantly more effective in differentiating genuine items from unauthorised copies. The AuKey turnkey solution offers hardware-authentication devices comprising a secure operating system (OS) running on top of the latest-generation ST23 secure microcontrollers to increase protection for the embedded security keys. The most advanced security crypto algorithms are supported by AuKey, including the AES shared-key system and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC).
The microcontroller and OS, together, also secure the chip’s data-read and data-write mechanisms. This approach differs from conventional security methods, which rely on a relatively simple memory chip containing the security keys. Organised counterfeiters have learned to break this level of security, presenting a threat to brand owners’ image and revenues.
AuKey’s secure microcontroller-based security also provides flexibility through its customisable security architecture, configurable key management mechanism, and chip personalisation tools. In addition, support for secure application firmware downloads allows authorised updating or restoration of settings in the field.
