Das Secure 6 Click Board™ umfasst das ATSHA204A, ein sicheres CryptoAuthentication™-Gerät von Microchip, das mit einem EEPROM-Array ausgestattet ist, das zum Speichern von bis zu 16 Schlüsseln, Zertifikaten, Verbrauchsprotokollen, Sicherheitskonfigurationen und anderen Arten sicherer Daten verwendet werden kann. Das auf diesem Click Board™ installierte ATSHA204A unterstützt die SWI-Schnittstelle mit einem flexiblen Befehlssatz, der den Einsatz in verschiedenen Sicherheitsanwendungen ermöglicht, darunter Netzwerk-/IoT-Knotenendpunktsicherheit, sicherer Start, Verschlüsselung kleiner Nachrichten, Schlüsselgenerierung für Software-Downloads, Ökosystemkontrolle, Fälschungsschutz und Ähnliches.
Das Secure 6 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
HINWEIS: Das Click Board™ wird mit stapelbaren Headern geliefert, die Ihnen eine einfachere Kombination mit anderen Click Board™-Boards durch die Verwendung nur einer MikroBUS™-Buchse ermöglichen.
The Secure 6 Click Board™ includes the ATSHA204A, a secure CryptoAuthentication™ device from Microchip, which is equipped with an EEPROM array which can be used for storing of up to 16 keys, certificates, consumption logging, security configurations and other types of secure data. Access to the various sections of memory can be restricted in several different ways and then the configuration can be locked permanently, to prevent changes. The ATSHA204A equipped on this click board™, supports the SWI interface with a flexible command set, that allows use in various security applications, including Network/IoT Node Endpoint Security, Secure Boot, Small Message Encryption, Key Generation for Software Download, Ecosystem control, Anti Counterfeiting and similar.
How Does The Secure 6 Click Board™ Work?
The ATSHA204A implements a complete asymmetric key cryptographic signature solution, based on the Elliptic Curve Cryptography and the ECDSA signature protocol. It also implements AES-128, SHA256 and multiple SHA derivatives, such as HMSC(SHA), PRF (the key derivation function in TLS) and HKDF in hardware. It can also generate random private keys and random numbers, which can be used as a part of the crypto protocol.
Those asymmetric cryptographic operations are accelerated by the ATSHA204A hardware and are calculated up from ten to thousand times faster than with the software running on standard microprocessors. This prevents the risk of key exposure, which is usually found in standard microprocessors.
The device is consuming very low current, especially while it is in the sleep mode. The chip itself uses less than 150nA, in that case. The voltage range which can be used to power up the Security 6 click, allows for it to work with both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs. Therefore, this click board™ supports the parasitic power supply mode, where the main IC is powered via the communication line. When the onboard jumper PWR BYP is removed, Secure 6 click
The chip itself uses a minimal number of pins; only the SWI lines are routed to the mikroBUS™ along with the 3.3V and 5V rails. The device can work with any of these voltages. It can be selected by soldering a small SMD jumper, labelled as VIO SEL to the correct position.
IMPORTANT: On the Secure 6 Click Board™, UART lines (RX and TX) are shorted and pulled high by the 1KΩ resistor. Basically, they act as a single line and only one trace is routed to the ATSHA204A IC. Further it means that UART pins can be used only for SWI communication when this click board™ is used on a system.

Software Support
We provide a library for the Secure 6 Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library demonstrates the operation of the software single wire interface implementation.
Key Functions
int8_t secureswi_init(T_SECURESWI_DIRSET inSet, T_SECURESWI_DIRSET outSet)- Initialize the SWI interface and pass the pin direction setting functions.void secureswi_sendBytes(uint8_t len,uint8_t *stBuf)- Encode data buffer and send the data to the SWI bus.void secureswi_receiveBytes(uint8_t len,uint8_t *stBuf)- Receive and decode data from the SWI bus.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initialize the GPIO sturcture and configure the serial port for logging data.
- Application Initialization - Initialize the driver and configure swi for communication.
- Application Task - Data is read from the secure chip. If the readout is successful the data is then printed on the serial port in the hex format.
void applicationTask() { uint8_t bufferOut[128]; cfg_atsha204a_swi_default.iface_type = ATCA_SWI_IFACE; cfg_atsha204a_swi_default.devtype = ATSHA204A; cfg_atsha204a_swi_default.atcaswi.bus = 1; cfg_atsha204a_swi_default.wake_delay = 2560; cfg_atsha204a_swi_default.rx_retries = 10; atcab_init(&cfg_atsha204a_swi_default); mikrobus_logWrite("Starting test",_LOG_LINE); memset(bufferOut,0,127); if (atcab_read_serial_number(bufferOut) == ATCA_SUCCESS) { mikrobus_logWrite("rn Serial number: ",_LOG_LINE); secureswi_printHex(bufferOut,9); } else { mikrobus_logWrite("rn Reading serial number failed...",_LOG_LINE); secureswi_printHex(bufferOut,sizeof(bufferOut)); } Delay_ms (1500); memset (bufferOut, 0x00, 128); if (atcab_read_config_zone(bufferOut) == ATCA_SUCCESS) { mikrobus_logWrite("rnrn First 32 bytes of device configuration: ",_LOG_LINE); secureswi_printHex(bufferOut,32); } else { mikrobus_logWrite("rnrn Reading config zone failed...",_LOG_LINE); secureswi_printHex(bufferOut,sizeof(bufferOut)); } while(1) { } }
