Add-on board for Root of Trust
ecure Tropic Click from MIKROE is a compact add-on board designed to provide a hardware-based Root of Trust for embedded systems.
This board features the TROPIC01, a cryptographic coprocessor and secure storage IC from Tropic Square, ensuring advanced protection for sensitive data and cryptographic operations.
It features tamper-resistant technology, cryptographic acceleration for elliptic curve cryptography, and high-quality entropy sources like a Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) and True Random Number Generator (TRNG).
And it supports Keccak-based PIN authentication, AES-256-GCM encryption, and communicates via a 4-wire SPI interface with an additional GPO pin for flexible integration. The Click Snap feature allows detaching and repositioning the core IC for standalone operation.
Ideal for hardware wallets, secure IoT communications, access control systems, hardware authentication, smart infrastructure, and industrial automation, Secure Tropic Click delivers a robust security foundation for modern embedded applications.
