SparkFun Cryptographic Development Kit

SparkFun Cryptographic Development Kit is ideal for learning the fundamentals of cryptographic authentication and security. The kit includes a pair of Atmel ATECC508A Cryptographic Co-Processor Breakout Boards that adds strong authentication security to IoT node, edge device, or embedded systems. The board offers two Qwiic ports for plug and play functionality, and using the Qwiic system, no soldering is required. 0.1″-spaced pins are available for adding a breadboard.

Additionally, the SparkFun Cryptographic Development Kit includes a pair of SparkFun RedBoard Artemis boards. The RedBoard Artemis provides BLE, one megabyte of flash, and runs at less than 1mA. The RedBoard Artemis takes the incredibly powerful Artemis module converted into an easy-to-use and familiar Uno footprint.

Features

  • Atmel ATECC508A chip
    • Creating and securely storing unique asymmetric key pairs based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (FIPS186-3)
