Symmetric Cryptography Commands

The Symmetric Cryptography command set is made of up of those commands associated with the generation or use of symmetric keys. Keys are typically stored in Data zone slots, but for some commands, keys could also be generated and stored in some SRAM memory locations.

Table 1. Symmetric Cryptography Commands
Command Name Opcode Description
AES 0x51 Execute the AES-ECB Encrypt or Decrypt functions. Calculate a Galois Field Multiply.
CheckMac 0x28 Verify a MAC calculated on another CryptoAuthentication device.
DeriveKey 0x1C Derive a target key value from the target or parent key.
GenDig 0x15 Generate a data digest from a random or input seed and a stored value.
KDF 0x56 Implement the PRF, AES or HKDF key derivation functions
MAC 0x08 Calculate digest (response) from key and other internal data using SHA-256.
