A COMPREHENSIVE SECURE SOLUTION
The A1006 Secure Authenticator offers a true end-to-end
secure solution. The A1006 Secure Authenticator IC is built
with strong protection against various invasive and non-
invasive attacks. The IC is manufactured in NXP’s certified
secure manufacturing facilities to prevent key leakage during
the fabrication process and certified secure HSMs are used to
create and provision die individual keys and certificates. The
solution also includes the host reference software, evaluation
boards and the support of a best in class customer applications
team with security experts, to ease the integration into the
target customer applications.
NXP TRUST PROVISIONING SERVICES
NXP’s trust provisioning services is a unique value add to the
customer as a part of the A1006 Secure authenticator solution.
Each A1006 IC comes with an NXP cryptographically signed
X.509 certificate and an optional user certificate. The certificate
contains information regarding the IC, a unique identifier, other
customer information as well as a public key. The private key
corresponding to the public key is stored in the IC and never
leaves the IC.
The trust provisioning services offered by NXP include creation
of die individual private/public key pairs, certificates and other
personalized data in CC EAL5+ certified Hardware Secure
Modules (HSM), and only these HSMs have access to master
secrets and other unencrypted cryptographic objects. The data
generated by the HSMs are inserted into each chip during
production flow in our secure manufacturing facilities.
SUMMARY
A1006 Secure Authenticator solution — A complete solution,
offering a one-stop shop for building authenticated devices and
