Driver for Microchip's ATECCx08 cryptographic co-processors with secure hardware-based key storage

Introduction

Driver for Microchip’s ATECCx08 cryptographic co-processors with secure hardware-based key storage.

Note: This library was developed and tested with an ATECC608A, but should work for ATECC508 modules as well.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython

• Bus Device

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

Note

This library is not available on PyPI yet. Install documentation is included as a standard element. Stay tuned for PyPI availability!

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-atecc

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-atecc

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-atecc

License

This library was written by Arduino SA. We’ve converted it to work with Adafruit CircuitPython and made changes for it to work with CircuitPython devices and single-board linux computers running CircuitPython libraries. We’ve added examples to demonstrate using the nonce, random, monotonic counter and SHA256 security functions within the library.
