1. Introduction
1.1 Applications
The ATECC608A is a member of the Microchip CryptoAuthentication™ family of high-security
cryptographic devices which combine world-class hardware-based key storage with hardware
cryptographic accelerators to implement various authentication and encryption protocols.
The ATECC608A has a flexible command set that allows use in many applications, including the
following:
•Network/IoT Node Endpoint Security
Manage node identity authentication and session key creation & management. Supports the entire
ephemeral session key generation flow for multiple protocols including TLS 1.2 (and earlier) and
TLS 1.3
•Secure Boot
Support the MCU host by validating code digests and optionally enabling communication keys on
success. Various configurations to offer enhanced performance are available.
•Small Message Encryption
Hardware AES engine to encrypt and/or decrypt small messages or data such as PII information.
Supports AES-ECB mode directly. Other modes can be implemented with the help of the host
microcontroller. Additional GFM calculation function to support AES-GCM.
•Key Generation for Software Download
Supports local protected key generation for downloaded images. Both broadcast of one image to
many systems, each with the same decryption key, or point-to-point download of unique images per
system are supported.
•Ecosystem control and Anti-Counterfeiting
Validates that a system or component is authentic and came from the OEM shown on the
nameplate.
The ATECC608A is generally compatible with the ATECC508A when properly configured. See Section
3.1 Microchip ATECC508A for more details.
1.2 Device Features
The ATECC608A 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.
Access to the device is made through a standard I2C Interface at speeds of up to 1 Mb/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.
Each ATECC608A 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
ATECC608A
Introduction
© 2018 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Summary DS40001977B-page 4
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 ATECC608A 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.
1.3 Cryptographic Operation
The ATECC608A 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 ATECC608A also implements AES-128, SHA256 and multiple SHA derivatives such as HMAC(SHA),
PRF (the key derivation function in TLS) and HKDF in hardware. Support is included for the Galois Field
Multiply (aka Ghash) to facilitate GCM encryption/decryption/authentication.
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 ATECC608A can generate high-quality random numbers using its internal random number generator.
This sophisticated function includes runtime health testing designed to ensure that the values generated
from the internal noise source contain sufficient entropy at the time of use. The random number generator
is designed to meet the requirements documented in the NIST 800-90A, 800-90B and 800-90C
documents.
These random numbers can be employed for any purpose, including usage as part of the device’s
cryptographic protocols. Because each random number is assured 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.
The ATECC608A also supports a standard hash-based challenge-response protocol in order to allow its
use across a wide variety of additional applications. In its most basic instantiation, the system sends a
challenge to the device, which combines that challenge with a secret key via the MAC command 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. At the
same time the recipient can verify that the response is correct by performing the same calculation with a
stored copy of the secret on the recipient’s system. There are a wide variety of variations possible on this
symmetric challenge/response theme.

2.4.1 VIH and VIL Specifications
The input levels of the device will vary dependent on the mode and voltage of the device. The input
voltage thresholds when in Sleep or Idle mode are dependent on the VCC level as shown in Figure 2-4.
When in sleep or idle mode the TTLenable bit has no effect.
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. If the voltage supplied to the VCC pin of the ATECC608A is higher than the system voltage to
which the input pull-up resistor is connected, then the system designer may choose to set TTLenable to
zero. This enables a fixed input threshold shown by Table 2-6.

3. Compatibility
3.1 Microchip ATECC508A
The ATECC608A is designed to be fully compatible with the ATECC508A devices with the limited
exception of the functions listed below. If the ATECC608A is properly configured, software written for the
ATECC508A should work with the ATECC608A without any required changes, again with the exception of
the functions listed below.
Note:  Most elements of the configuration zone in the ATECC608A are identical in both location and
value with the ATECC508A. However, the initial values that had been stored in the LastKeyUse field may
need to be changed to conform to the new definition of those bytes which can be found in this document.
That field contained the initial count for the Slot 15 limited use function which is supported in the
ATECC608A via the monotonic counters.
3.1.1 New Features in ATECC608A vs. ATECC508A
• Secure boot function, with IO encryption and authentication
•KDF command, supporting PRF, HKDF, AES
•AES command, including encrypt/decrypt
• GFM calculation function for GCM AEAD mode of AES
• Updated NIST SP800-90 A/B/C Random Number Generator
• Flexible SHA/HMAC command with context save/restore
•SHA command execution time significantly reduced
• Volatile Key Permitting to prevent device transfer
• Transport Key Locking to protect programmed devices during delivery
• Counter Limit Match function
• Ephemeral key generation in SRAM, also supported with ECDH and KDF
•Verify command output can be validated with a MAC
• Encrypted output for ECDH
• Added self test command, optional automatic power-on self test
• Unaligned public key for built-in X.509 cert key validation
• Optional power reduction at increased execution time
• Programmable I2C address after data (secret) zone lock
3.1.2 Features Eliminated in ATECC608A vs. ATECC508A
•HMAC command removed, replaced via new more powerful SHA command
• OTP consumption mode eliminated, now read only
• Pause command eliminated along with related Selector function in UpdateExtra
• Slot 15 special limited use eliminated, replaced with standard monotonic counter limited use
•SHA command no longer uses TempKey during the digest calculation and the result in TempKey is
unchanged throughout the SHA operation. TempKey can however still be used to initialize the SHA
for the HMAC_Start or to store the final digest.

3.2 Microchip ATSHA204A, ATECC108A
The ATECC608A is generally compatible with all ATSHA204/A and ATECC108/A devices. If properly
configured, it can be used in most situations where these devices are currently employed. For
ATSHA204A and ATECC108A compatibility restrictions, see the ATECC508A data sheet.

4. Package Marking Information
As part of Microchip’s overall security features, the part mark for all crypto devices is intentionally vague.
The marking on the top of the package does not provide any information as to the actual device type or
the manufacturer of the device. The alphanumeric code on the package provides manufacturing
information and will vary with assembly lot. The packaging mark should not be used as part of any
incoming inspection procedure.

Microchip Devices Code Protection Feature
Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the
market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.
• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of
these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the
operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is
engaged in theft of intellectual property.
• Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their
code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the
code protection features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a
violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software
or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
