1 Introduction
1.1 Applications
The Atmel® ATECC508A is a member of the Atmel CryptoAuthentication family of crypto engine authentication
devices with highly secure hardware-based key storage.
The ATECC508A has a flexible command set that allows use in many applications, including the following,
among many others:
Network/IoT Node Protection
Authenticates node IDs, ensures the integrity of messages, and supports key agreement to create session
keys for message encryption.
Anti-Counterfeiting
Validates that a removable, replaceable, or consumable client is authentic. Examples of clients could be
system accessories, electronic daughter cards, or other spare parts. It can also be used to validate a
software/firmware module or memory storage element.
Protecting Firmware or Media
Validates code stored in flash memory at boot to prevent unauthorized modifications, encrypt downloaded
program files as a common broadcast, or uniquely encrypt code images to be usable on a single system
only.
Storing Secure Data
Store secret keys for use by crypto accelerators in standard microprocessors. Programmable protection is
available using encrypted/authenticated reads and writes.
Checking User Password
Validates user-entered passwords without letting the expected value become known, maps memorable
passwords to a random number, and securely exchanges password values with remote systems.
1.2 Device Features
The ATECC508A includes an EEPROM array which can be used for storage of up to 16 keys, certificates,
miscellaneous read/write, read-only or secret data, consumption logging, and security configurations. Access to
the various sections of memory can be restricted in a variety of ways and then the configuration can be locked to
prevent changes.
The ATECC508A features a wide array of defense mechanisms specifically designed to prevent physical attacks
on the device itself, or logical attacks on the data transmitted between the device and the system. Hardware
restrictions on the ways in which keys are used or generated provide further defense against certain styles of
attack.
Access to the device is made through a standard I2C Interface at speeds of up to 1Mb/s. The interface is
compatible with standard Serial EEPROM I2C interface specifications. The device also supports a Single-Wire
Interface (SWI), which can reduce the number of GPIOs required on the system processor, and/or reduce the
number of pins on connectors. If the Single-Wire Interface is enabled, the remaining pin is available for use as a
GPIO, an authenticated output or tamper input.
Using either the I2C or Single-Wire Interface, multiple ATECC508A devices can share the same bus, which saves
processor GPIO usage in systems with multiple clients such as different color ink tanks or multiple spare parts,
for example.
Each ATECC508A ships with a guaranteed unique 72-bit serial number. Using the cryptographic protocols
supported by the device, a host system or remote server can verify a signature of the serial number to prove that
the serial number is authentic and not a copy. Serial numbers are often stored in a standard Serial EEPROM;
however, these can be easily copied with no way for the host to know if the serial number is authentic or if it is a
clone.

The ATECC508A can generate high-quality FIPS random numbers and employ them for any purpose, including
usage as part of the device’s crypto protocols. Because each random number is guaranteed to be essentially
unique from all numbers ever generated on this or any other device, their inclusion in the protocol calculation
ensures that replay attacks (i.e. re-transmitting a previously successful transaction) will always fail.
System integration is easy due to a wide supply voltage range (of 2.0V to 5.5V) and an ultra-low sleep current (of
<150nA). Multiple package options are available.
See Section 3 for information regarding compatibility with the Atmel ATSHA204 and ATECC108.
1.3 Cryptographic Operation
The ATECC508A implements a complete asymmetric (public/private) key cryptographic signature solution based
upon Elliptic Curve Cryptography and the ECDSA signature protocol. The device features hardware acceleration
for the NIST standard P256 prime curve and supports the complete key life cycle from high quality private key
generation, to ECDSA signature generation, ECDH key agreement, and ECDSA public key signature
verification.
The hardware accelerator can implement such asymmetric cryptographic operations from ten to one-thousand
times faster than software running on standard microprocessors, without the usual high risk of key exposure that
is endemic to standard microprocessors.
The device is designed to securely store multiple private keys along with their associated public keys and
certificates. The signature verification command can use any stored or an external ECC public key. Public keys
stored within the device can be configured to require validation via a certificate chain to speed-up subsequent
device authentications.
Random private key generation is supported internally within the device to ensure that the private key can never
be known outside of the device. The public key corresponding to a stored private key is always returned when the
key is generated and it may optionally be computed at a later time.
The ATECC508A also supports a standard hash-based challenge-response protocol in order to simplify
programming. In its most basic instantiation, the system sends a challenge to the device, which combines that
challenge with a secret key and then sends the response back to the system. The device uses a SHA-256
cryptographic hash algorithm to make that combination so that an observer on the bus cannot derive the value of
the secret key, but preserving that ability of a recipient to verify that the response is correct by performing the
same calculation with a stored copy of the secret on the recipient’s system.
Due to the flexible command set of the ATECC508A, these basic operation sets (i.e. ECDSA signatures, ECDH
key agreement and SHA-256 challenge-response) can be expanded in many ways.
In a host-client configuration where the host (for instance a mobile phone) needs to verify a client (for instance an
OEM battery), there is a need to store the secret in the host in order to validate the response from the client. The
CheckMac
command allows the device to securely store the secret in the host system and hides the correct
response value from the pins, returning only a yes or no answer to the system.
All hashing functions are implemented using the industry-standard SHA-256 secure hash algorithm, which is part
of the latest set of high-security cryptographic algorithms recommended by various government agencies and
cryptographic experts. The ATECC508A employs full-sized 256 bit secret keys to prevent any kind of exhaustive
attack.

2.4.1 VIH and VIL Specifications
The input voltage thresholds when in sleep or idle mode are dependent on the VCC level as shown in the graph
below. When the device is active (i.e. not in sleep or idle mode), the input voltage thresholds are different
depending upon the state of TTLenable (bit 1) within the ChipMode byte in the Configuration zone of the
EEPROM. When a common voltage is used for the ATECC508A VCC pin and the input pull-up resistor, then this
bit should be set to a one, which permits the input thresholds to track the supply.
If the voltage supplied to the VCC pin of the ATECC508A is different than the system voltage to which the input
pull-up resistor is connected, then the system designer may choose to set TTLenable to zero, which enables a
fixed input threshold according to the following table. The following applies only when the device is active:

3 Compatibility
3.1 Atmel ATSHA204
ATECC508A is fully compatible with the ATSHA204 and ATSHA204A devices. If properly configured, it can be
used in all situations where the ATSHA204 or ATSHA204A is currently employed. Because the Configuration
zone is larger, the personalization procedures for the device must be updated when personalizing the
ATSHA204 or ATSHA204A.
3.2 Atmel ATECC108
ATECC508A is designed to be fully compatible with the ATECC108 and ATECC108A devices. If properly
configured, can be used in all situations where ATECC108 is currently employed. In many situations, the
ATECC508A can also be used in an ATECC108 application without change. The new revisions provide
