Status:
Secure 3 click carries the ATSHA204A, a cryptographic coprocessor with secure hardware-based key storage from Microchip. The click is designed to run on either 3.3V or 5V power supply. Secure 3 click communicates with the target microcontroller over an I2C interface.
NOTE: The click comes with stacking headers which allow you to combine it with other clicks more easily by using just one mikroBUS™ socket.

It is ideal to use for:
The ATSHA204A is a member of the Microchip CryptoAuthentication™ family of high-security hardware authentication devices, which uses Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-256) with 256-bit key length, message authentication code (MAC) and hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) options. It has a flexible command set that allows use in many applications.
The ATSHA204A device includes an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) array that can be used for key storage, miscellaneous read/write data, read-only, secret data, consumption logging, and security configuration. Access to the various sections of memory can be restricted in a variety of ways, and the configuration can then be locked to prevent changes.

The following code snippet creates a MAC for a given input and then checks if it is valid using verify function.
01 static void MACTest () 02 { 03 //Generates nonce for use in MAC generation 04 memset (bufferIn, 0x45, 128); 05 if (atcab_nonce(bufferIn) == ATCA_SUCCESS) 06 { 07 LOG( "rnrn Nonce generated." ); 08 } 09 else LOG( "rnrn Nonce generation failed..." ); 10 delay_ms (1500); 11 12 //Generates MAC for given input 13 memset (bufferOut, 0x00, 128); 14 memset (bufferIn, 0x14, 128); 15 if (atcab_mac( 0, 0, bufferIn, bufferOut ) == ATCA_SUCCESS) 16 { 17 LOG( "rnrn MAC generated: " ); 18 outputHex (bufferOut, 32); 19 } 20 else LOG( "rnrn Mac generation failed..." ); 21 delay_ms (1500); 22 23 //Checks if the generated MAC is valid 24 memset (bufferIn, 0x14, 128); 25 if (atcab_checkmac( 0, 0, bufferIn, bufferOut, otherData) == ATCA_SUCCESS) 26 { 27 LOG( "rnrn Check MAC successful. " ); 28 } 29 else LOG( "rnrn Check MAC failed..." ); 30 }
