Microchip Trust Anchor TA101

Microchip Technology Inc - FIPS 140 #5371

activeLevel 2

The Microchip Trust Anchor TA101 is a secure element from the Microchip CryptoAutomotive™ portfolio intended for automotive security applications providing support for code authentication (aka secure boot), message authentication via MAC generation, support for trusted firmware updates, multiple key management protocols including TLS and other root-of-trust based operations. It is typically a companion device to an MCU or MPU on the same board and offers up to 256-bit security strength cryptography.
