Maxim Integrated MAXQ1061 DeepCover® Cryptographic Controller are embedded security solutions that support highly secure key storage. The MAXQ1061 cloaks sensitive data under multiple layers of advanced physical security to provide the most secure key storage possible.
The cryptographic controller implements full security for embedded, connected products without requiring firmware development. The MAXQ1061 coprocessor can be designed-in or added to an existing design to guarantee confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of the device. The controller is ideal for connected embedded devices, industrial networking, PLC, and network appliances.
