Overview

The OM3710/A71CHARD is an Arduino-compatible development kit designed to evaluate the A71CH secure element. It provides a plug-and-play solution for adding hardware-based security, such as secure credential storage and authentication, to IoT edge devices using an I2C interface.

Why Choose This Part

The kit simplifies the integration of the A71CH IC by utilizing a standard Arduino header, making it compatible with a wide range of MCU boards. It operates across a temperature range of -25C to +85C and handles complex cryptographic tasks like ECDSA signature generation internally to offload the host processor.

Applications

IoT Device Authentication
Securely connecting sensor nodes to public or private clouds using pre-provisioned certificates.
Secure Cloud Onboarding
Automating the process of joining AWS IoT or Google Cloud IoT Core without exposing private keys in application code.
Anti-Counterfeiting
Verifying the authenticity of peripherals or consumables in industrial and consumer systems.
