DeepCover® embedded security solutions cloak sensitive data under multiple layers of advanced physical security to provide the most secure key storage possible.

The DeepCover MAXQ1743 is an integrated triple-track magnetic stripe reader IC that adds security features to a POS terminal or ATM card reader at the machine/card interface. Card data can be encrypted using either AES or DES/TDES algorithms.

Security is further enhanced with the inclusion of fast-wipe nonvolatile SRAM (NVSRAM), a hardware random number generator (RNG), voltage attack sensors, and a self destruct input pin. The NVSRAM clears its contents when a tamper is detected by the on chip tamper detection circuitry. The fast-wipe feature ensures that any data in the NVSRAM is destroyed before any application software can access it. The MAXQ1743 communicates to a host processor through a SPI interface.
