4 ATECC608C Trust Platform Variants and Provisioning Services

Microchip provides a variety of pre-configured variants of the ATECC608C secure elements and a suite of tools to assist customers in developing applications using secure elements while minimizing the learning curve associated with cryptographic security.

Microchip offers secure provisioning services for the ATECC608C through the Trust Platform. It leverages the Trust Platform Design Suite set of tools (TPDS), and offers 3 provisioning flows:

• Trust&GO: Pre-configured and pre-provisioned Secure Elements for fix-function Use Cases
• TrustFLEX: Pre-configured & provisioned Secure Element with customer-unique credentials
• TrustCUSTOM: Fully customizable Secure Element including configuration and provisioning with customer-unique credentials

The Trust&GO flow provides pre-configured and pre-provisioned secure elements. These products are defined to meet common use case applications for customers that do not require unique credentials. These devices are provided as is and can be ordered directly from Microchip as easily as any standard product.

The TrustFLEX flow leverages the TrustFLEX configurator to input unique customer credentials into a pre-defined configuration and generate a Secure Exchange Package. This package is, then, deployed via the Microchip Secure Provisioning System to enable device ordering. Then, only the customer designated in the Secure Exchange Package can order these devices.

The TrustCUSTOM flow leverages the TrustCUSTOM configurator and provides the ability to fully configure the ATECC608C device to meet the security requirements for a given application. At the end of the process, a Secure Exchange Package is generated that is deployed to the Microchip Secure Provisioning System. Then, only the customer designated in the Secure Exchange Package can order these devices.
