Heh, now that would be the mother of all drastic design changes :) Speaking of new chips, NXP aka Freescale have released full documentation for the KL8x I mentioned a while ago: http://www.nxp.com/products/microcontrollers-and-processors/arm-processors/kinetis-cortex-m-mcus/l-series/kinetis-kl8x-72-mhz-low-power-secure-microcontrollers-mcus:KL8x Some observations: - not available in QFN (only BGA or, if you have the space, LQFP). So that puts it beyond the technology range of Anelok Mk 3. - it has sort of an FPU for Elliptic Curves. While they don't mention it explicitly, it seems that it should be able to support also Curve25519. This FPU is fully documented. Note: the optimized Curve25519 implementation from uNaCl is already pretty fast, but hardware acceleration could be interesting in cases where more than a very small number of keys has to be used/tried. - has a memory protection unit. I'd still have to examine the details, but this might allow merging cMCU and sMCU functionality on the same chip with the security of the resulting solution between the old single-MCU design and the current two-MCU design. So, might be interesting chip for a future design variant. - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
