Due to lack of better alternatives, TLS implementations have historically stored private keys and authentication credentials in software where they are more vulnerable to attack. In addition, the mathematics used for authentication and asymmetric key agreement were also done in software which is less feasible in small IoT devices that have limited code space and processing power.

The Hardware-TLS platform provides an interface between software TLS packages and the ATECC508A cryptographic co-processor. wolfSSL and OpenSSL implementations can now utilize hardware-based secure storage for private keys and authentication data and also allow resource-constrained IoT nodes to implement full elliptic curve authentication and Diffie-Hellman key agreement and session key derivation. With HW-TLS, TLS communications links can have hardened security even out to the smallest IoT edge node.

The Microchip Zero Touch Secure Provisioning Kit for AWS IoT helps designers to quickly and securely develop IoT devices that are in compliance with the AWS security regulations. These regulations state that a device must use mutual authentication with a remote server to be authorized on the AWS cloud.

Meanwhile, a robust authentication must also ensure a complete isolation of the system credentials such as private keys from the application core to avoid leaving backdoors opened to software loop holes. In addition, the software is as secure as the user's skillset is in security. Human users and software can often be one of the easiest targets for a hacker as they are the least reliable elements. Incorporating Microchip pre-configured ATECC508-MAHAW or ATECC508ASSHAW CryptoAuthentication devices into a system is a very secure method to connect to the AWS IoT service. It leaves the whole handling of certificate and private key manipulation to Microchip secure provisioning factories in addition to keeping crendentials away from software and users.

The ATECC508A and ATECC608A devices in the kit are generic devices. Starting with the upgraded Zero Touch Provisioning Kit for AWS IoT Version B and benefit from the new configuration and provisioning scripts (Python based) and AWS IoT account configuration scripts (using Cloudformation).

This version B of the kit comes with an easier onboarding process to generate certificates and provision them into the CryptoAuthentication device using Python scripts. In addition, the user will have access to a CloudFormation script to generate a web UI reflecting the I/O of the kit and utilize it as a foundation to develop virtually any sensor based use cases. In addition to the ATECC508A and ATECC608A devices, the kit includes a Cortex-M4 ATSAMG55 and Wi-Fi ATWINC1500 using FreeRTOS and the ATWINC1500 integrated TLS stack.

Please Note: The previous version of this kit (Rev 2) Only supported the ATECC508A and came with a preconfigured version of this device.
