Understand the CryptoAuthentication Device
Step 1: Get the Evaluation Tools
Microchip offers the AT88CK590 demo-evaluation kit, which runs Microchip Crypto Evaluation Studio (“ACES”) software to allow designers to learn and experiment with the CryptoAuthentication devices on their PCs. To get started, Microchip recommends focusing first on the ATSHA204A device, followed by the ATECC508A or ATAES132A. Please order the kit and download ACES software to get started.
Start Design
Step 2: Get the Development Tools
Microchip provides various development kits which helps start designing with the CryptoAuthentication Family of devices. The available development materials are listed below.
| AT88CK101 Development Kit |
