Security features:

Since the very beginning, security is an integrated part of Infineons product development, as proved by various

certificates (ITSEC, CC, Proton, VISA, ZKA, Mondex). The so called “integral security concept” for the 66P series

ensures:

HW or SW attacks

Peripherals: The CRC module allows the easy generation of checksums according to ISO/IEC 3309 (16-Bit-CRC). To

minimize the overall power consumption, the chip card controller IC offers a sleep mode. The UART supports the half-

duplex transmission protocols T=0 and T=1 according to ISO/IEC 7816-3. All relevant transmission parameters can be

adjusted by software, as e.g. the clock division factor, direct/inverse convention and the number of stop bits. Additionally,

the I/O port can be driven by communication routines realized in software.

The Advanced Crypto Engine (ACE) is equipped with its own RAM of 700 bytes and supports all of today known public-

key algorithms based on large integer modular arithmetic. It allows fast and efficient calculation either in HW or

supported by software of e.g. RSA operations and EC (Elliptic Curves) algorithms for key lengths up to 2048-bit.

For all of it’s crypto controller using the ACE, Infineon offers a tailor made RSA 2048-bit library. This library is a powerful

multifunctional crypto library for the SLE 66CXxxP family. It provides arithmetic functions for easy programming the

Advanced Crypto Engine (ACE). In addition it provides a full implementation of RSA Sign, Verify and Key generation

including powerful SPA/DPA and DFA counter measures. It supports RSA up to 2048 bit key length. These RSA

functionality has already been certified according to Common Criteria EAL5+ on an existing crypto controller, the

SLE66CX322P.

The HW-DES module supports symmetric crypto algorithms according to the Data Encryption Standard in the Electronic

Code Book Mode.

The random number generator (RNG) is able to supply the CPU with true random numbers on all conditions.

The advanced sensor concept includes various sensors for any kind of attack scenarios and even more important a “Life

Test ” for sensors.

As an important feature, the chip provides an on-chip security, which fulfills the strong security requirements of a

Common Criteria evaluation at an EAL5+ level.

In conclusion, the SLE 66CX182PE fulfills all the requirements of today's chip card applications, and is especially

designed for DDA payment and ID-applications incl. digital signatures.

The SLE66CX182PE integrates outstanding memory sizes, additional peripherals in combination with enhanced

performance and optimized power consumption on a minimized die size.
