Atmel: Trusted Platform Module (AT97SC3201)
| Sponsor: | Atmel |
| Assurance Level: | EAL3+ |
| Status: | Evaluated |
The Atmel Trusted Platform Module (TPM) brings true hardware security to the PC platform. Until now, security in a PC meant external hardware and removable cards or software-based solutions that are vulnerable to attack. This single chip turnkey solution changes that equation, permitting very high levels of security and interoperability while maintaining exceptional user convenience and privacy.
Offered as a single chip designed to be mounted on the computer motherboard, the Atmel TPM is the lowest cost hardware security mechanism currently available. It requires a standard 3.3V supply, it interfaces to the LPC bus found on most PCs and it is supplied in a thin TSSOP package. The Atmel TPM is suitable for use in the smallest platforms, including pocket PCs, cell phones or PDAs.
Optimized to support the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance's architecture, it offers a standards-based approach to security. Standard encryption, signature algorithms and flexible authorization mechanisms enable a wide range of applications, including email, file encryption and network authentication.
The Atmel TPM (AT97SC3201) includes sophisticated tamper detection circuitry designed to protect information against a wide range of attacks, including signal analysis, physical probing and logical methods, such as eavesdropping or random attacks. The Atmel TPM is available now. Please see your local Atmel sales representative for more information.
