Atmel’s CryptoMemory development kit allows engineers with no expertise in cryptographic processes or algorithms to add high-level security to end-products that range from pricey handbags and sports apparel to identification and life-saving pharmaceutical products. The AT88SC-DK1 simplifies the application development process by providing a library that completely implements host cryptographic operations required for secure communication with CryptoMemory devices. The kit provides evaluation and demonstration capabilities when used in conjunction with the company's STK500, an AVR processor embedded development environment. This development kit serves Atmel's AT88SCxxxxC family of cryptographic memories, covering EEPROM densities from 1 Kbit to 256 Kbits. The kit includes a daughter board, to adapt CryptoMemory to any existing embedded development environment with a two-wire interface, and a development library containing a low function count API. The development library is delivered as a highly decoupled binary cryptographic core and a source code interface for easy integration. The AT88SC-DK1 development kit is priced at $49 each.
