Dutch boy turns his dead rat into remote-controlled, flying rodent

Secure Authentication ICs for Disposable and Accessory Ecosystems

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Microchip

Secure authentication for disposable and accessory ecosystems is a critical element for many embedded systems today. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Xavier Bignalet from Microchip discuss the benefits of Microchip’s Trust Platform design suite and how it can provide the security you need for your next embedded design. They investigate the value of symmetric authentication and asymmetric authentication and the roles that parasitic power and package size play in these kinds of designs.
