Embedded systems need protection from malicious attacks. Add tamper detection to your system to protect sensitive data and encryption keys. Or safeguard your IP and R&D investment from cloning and unauthorized use. With Maxim’s solutions, you can easily secure your entire system.

Security manager products work with your microcontroller to protect information. Secure Authenticator ICs provide HW-based crypto-strong authentication and coprocessing. Maxim's secure microcontrollers have built-in FIPS-certified hardware cryptographic engines that support industry-standard algorithms.

Analog ICs provide complete analog circuit functions.

Secure Authentication

It can be a very hostile world for electronic equipment to operate within. Systems with replaceable or limited life sensors, peripherals, modules, or consumables are commonly targeted by unauthorized aftermarket companies. These counterfeit replacements can introduce safety concerns, reduce quality, and negatively impact OEM revenue. Similarly, with relentless attacks and serious consequences for breaches, the security requirements for medical and industrial IoT products have never been more important. With DeepCover® secure authenticators, a cryptographic solution to eliminate these issues can easily be implemented for any system.

With over 4 billion secure authentication units shipped, we are experts at helping you implement hardware-based physical security to achieve low-cost counterfeit protection, peripheral device authentication, secure feature setting, and more.

Secure Microcontrollers

Advanced Cryptography Meets Physical Layer Security to Protect Your IP and Digital Assets

Maxim's secure microcontrollers provide ongoing protection for your digital assets and intellectual property (IP) against continuously emerging threats. Maxim's secure MCU ICs employ FIPS-certified, hardware cryptographic engines which support industry-standard algorithms. Advanced cryptography, combined with physical layer security, means that when you select a secure microcontroller from our diverse offering, you are guaranteed the highest level of protection against side-channel attacks, physical tampering, and reverse engineering.

Other notable features of our secure microcontrollers include:

Integrated secure memory (NV SRAM) that is instantly erased when an intrusion is detected

Patented real-time code and data encryption that fully protects external memory

Hardware that conforms to EMV, PCI, and FIPS standards

Secure boot and ChipDNA™ PUF technology that protect IoT designs against hacker attacks

Automotive Security

Keep Your Automotive Components Authentic, Safe, and Secure

As the automotive industry becomes more reliant on independent vehicle decision-making and increased cloud connectivity, the need for automotive security has never been more important. Modern-era automotive security is about more than just securing door locks. Automotive security has expanded to include vehicle authentication, counterfeit prevention of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) peripherals, and securing data communication to the cloud. With the imminent deployment of mass-produced, battery-powered, and autonomous vehicles, it is vital to take stock of how these technologies could become harmful if they are not correctly implemented and protected. Securing technology for the cars of tomorrow requires AEC-Q100 Grade 1-qualified secure components, both to enhance safety and preserve optimum system functionality.
