1. Product Overview
The Atmel AT88SC118 is designed as the mate to the CryptoRF (CRF) and CryptoMemory (CM) chips, collectively
referred to in the remainder of this document as CRF. Within the operation descriptions, the AT88SC118
CryptoCompanion chip is sometimes referred to as CMC or CryptoMemory Companion chip.
The AT88SC118 makes extensive use of the SHA-1 hash algorithm as specified in
http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip180-1.htm and elsewhere. In this document, the nomenclature SHA-1(a, b, c) means to
concatenate a, b, and c in that order and then pad them to a block size of 64 bytes before computing the digest. The
AT88SC118 does not ever generate a SHA-1 digest of datasets larger than a single round.
1.1 General Operation
The CRF chip contains secrets that must be known or derived by a Host system in order to establish a trusted link
between the two and permit communications to happen. The AT88SC118 stores these secrets in an obscured way in
nonvolatile memory and contains all the circuitry necessary to perform the authentication, password, and
encryption/decryption functions specified in the CRF datasheet. In this manner, the secrets do not ever need to be
revealed.
The general cryptographic strategy is as follows:
Each CRF chip has a serial or identification number (ID) and authentication secret Gi stored in EEPROM. ID is
freely readable; Gi can never be read and is unique for all tags.
The AT88SC118 contains an EEPROM that contains a set of common secrets (Fn). The
AT88SC118 combines Fn with ID and KID to compute a value of G that is expected to match that in the CRF chip.
Specifically, G = SHA-1(Fn, ID, KID).
G is further diversified by the inclusion of a number (KID) generated by the Host system in a manner of its
choosing. Typically, it will be the result of a cryptographic operation on the CRF ID value calculated using other
data, secrets, and/or algorithms external to the AT88SC118. This permits scenarios that offer varying degrees of
additional security.
The AT88SC118 includes a general purpose cryptographic quality Random Number Generator which is used to
seed a mutual authentication process between the AT88SC118 and CRF. If the CRF confirms the CMC challenge,
and the CMC confirms the CRF response, then the Host system proceeds with CRF operations. In this way, the
Host system may use the CRF without knowing the CRF’s secrets directly.
1.2 CryptoCompanion Benefits
The following is a partial list of the benefits of using this chip versus storing the algorithms and secrets in standard Flash
system memory.
Keep confidential those core secrets that are used to authenticate with and communicate to/from CRF.
(Store them in EEPROM and use them on-chip)
Flexible system implementation — multiple secrets and policies for different CRF locations within the system.
Multiple manufacturer setup options.
Hardware encryption engines, avoids algorithm disclosure from reverse-compilation of system operating code.
Full hardware security implementation makes it harder for an attacker (even with lab equipment) to get secrets
stored on the AT88SC118.
Global secrets are protected using strong security, standard algorithm (SHA-1).
Implements a crunching algorithm to prevent micro-controller based CRF replicas.
Robust Random Number Generation avoids accidental replay for all cryptographic operations using the system;
not just with respect to CRF.
Secure EEPROM storage for configuration information, etc. may permit reduction in the total BOM for the system.
Easy to use — little programming required, no knowledge of security algorithms or protocols, and fast time to
market.

1.4 Package, Pinout, and I/O
1.4.1 Pinout
All pins not otherwise specified are considered Test pins and should be grounded on the board.
Table 1-1. Pin Descriptions
Pin Description
VCC and
GND
Power Supply and Ground. Power supply is 2.7 – 3.6V and the supply current is less than 5mA.
CryptoCompanion will be available to accept commands 60ms after the later of VCC rising above 2.7V or
Reset being driven high if CryptoCompanion is in a security delay then this interval is significantly longer.
During power-up, VCC must exhibit a monotonic ramp at a minimum rate of 50mV/ms until VCC has crossed
the 2.7V level. During power-down, VCC must exhibit a monotonic ramp at a minimum rate of 50mV/ms once
it has dropped below the 2.5V boundary. CryptoCompanion does not support hot swapping or hot plugging.
VCC must be bypassed with high quality surface mount capacitors that are properly located on the board.
Atmel recommends two capacitors connected in parallel having a value of 1mF and 0.01mF. The capacitors
should be manufactured using X5R or X7R dielectric material. These capacitors should be connected to the
AT88SC118 using a total of no more than 1cm PC board traces. Atmel recommends the use of a ground
plane and a trace length of less than 0.5cm between the capacitors and the VCC pin.
Caution: Failure to follow these recommendations may result in improper operation.
SDA 2-Wire Interface Data pin and 5V compatible. Data setup time = 0.1μs minimum and data hold time = 0 μs
minimum.The system board must include an external pull-up resistor.
SCL 2-Wire Interface Clock pin and 5V compatible. Maximum SCL rate is 400KHz, min. TLOW = 1.2μs,
min. THIGH = 0.6μs. The system board must include an external pull-up resistor.
RST Reset. This active low input will reset all states within the AT88SC118. It is honored regardless of the state
of PowerDown.
PDN
PowerDown. When held low, the part operates normally. When held high the part will go to sleep and ignore
all transitions on SDA and SCL, power consumption will drop to less than 10μA. There is a 50ms delay
between this pin falling and the first transition on SDA or SCL that will be accepted by the chip.

1.4.5 TWI Input/Output Operation
The AT88SC118 communicates to the system using a 2-Wire Interface (TWI), which is similar to SMBus. The chip
operates as a slave and does not support clock stretching. This 2-Wire protocol is identical to that supported by the Atmel
AT24C16B Serial EEPROM chips. Refer to the datasheet on the Atmel website for detailed timing and protocol
information.
The system processor is expected to properly format commands for the AT88SC118 (which may include information
from the CRF chip), and then process the outputs of the AT88SC118 (which may include sending some of the outputs to
the CRF chip).
The AT88SC118 cannot directly communicate with CRF or CM chips. Both CRF/CM and the
AT88SC118 are slave devices. The bus master may use one or two busses to communicate with them. Separate TWI
addresses must be used if both chips are on the same bus.
Table 1-3. AT88SC118 Communications Packets Naming Conventions.
If the upper six bits of the device address byte sent over the TWI match the upper six bits of the Dev field in the
EEPROM, then the AT88SC118 may respond to this transmission; otherwise, it will NACK this byte. Dev is set to a value
of 0xC0 on shipment from Atmel.
In general, the AT88SC118 will fail to ACK (NACK) the device address byte if bit 1 of the device address is zero
(command/data transfer) and the AT88SC118 is busy.
The AT88SC118 is designed in such a way that the TWI Size field should be consistent with the count values specified in
the command parameter descriptions from Section 3., “Command Descriptions”. If the TWI Size field is inconsistent with
the command parameter count value, the AT88SC118 will respond in different ways depending on the specific
command. Some of these responses may include security penalties, other error indications, or some input bytes may be
silently ignored.
AT88SC118 Name TWI Name Description
Device Address Device Name
This byte selects a particular chip on the 2-Wire bus.
Bit 1 of this byte on the AT88SC118 selects between accesses to:
If 1 = Command/Data or
If 0 = The Status Register.
Bit 0 of this byte is the standard 2-wire R/W pin.
If 1 = The bytes following the device address travel from the slave to the
master (Read).
If 0 = These bytes flow to the slave (Write).
Cmd Word Address
If the device address specified a command input (TWI Write), then this byte
specifies the command to be executed by the AT88SC118. This byte doesn’t
exist on Read operations.

1.4.5.1 Command Input
Table 1-4. Command Input Byte Sequence
If the command ordinal is legal, the AT88SC118 will ACK the command input and start processing. It takes a variable
amount of time to process the command, up to 20ms depending on the number of EEPROM pages to be written. If an
illegal command ordinal (0x15) is sent to the chip, it will lock up for a “security delay”, then resume normal operation.
See Section 1.6.4, “Security Delay”.

1.4.5.2 Command Output
The command output can be extracted from the AT88SC118 using the following byte sequence.
Table 1-6. Command Output Byte Sequence
Command output bytes can be repeatedly read from the AT88SC118 as they remain valid until a new command is sent
to the AT88SC118. Until <size> bytes of the new command have been sent, DataAvailable will remain set, and that
number of bytes can be read from the SRAM output buffer, though the new input bytes will overwrite the old output bytes.
Some commands do not have any data output, for instance ‘Clear’. On completion of these commands, the
DataAvailable bit will be cleared, and the system can read just the size byte, which will have a value of zero.
1.4.5.3 Status
This register can be read to determine the current status or the error information using the following byte stream. This
sequence can be run at any time, regardless of whether or not the AT88SC118 is busy or locked.
Table 1-7. Byte Stream Sequence
Byte Direction Name Description
0To Slave Device

The status register value is described in the following table:
Table 1-8. Status Register Value
The eight error codes are used as follows:
Table 1-9. Error Codes
The system must poll this register (using TWI reads) after sending a command to the chip before attempting to read the
result.
This register cannot be written, attempts to do so will result in a NACK.
1.4.6 Byte Order
The AT88SC118 uses a big-endian byte order for all large integers (addresses, counters) which means that the most
significant byte appears first on the bus. Within this document, that byte is shown on the left side of the page. Arrays (F
values, cryptograms, passwords, digests) appear in index order, byte 0 first (or on the left of the page).
The 2-Wire protocol specifies that the most significant bit within a byte appears first on the bus and it appears on the left
side of the page.
Byte Name Description
0Data Available The AT88SC118 has completed processing of the command, and data is available in the output
buffer. A successfully completed command that does not have any output will not set this bit.
1 Busy The AT88SC118 is processing a command and is unable to accept more input or provide
output, or it is in some sort of security penalty period.
2 StartupDone The ChallengeResponse command has successfully run this power cycle. Once set, this bit will
remain set until the next reset or power cycle.
3 – 4 Reserved Will always be zero.
5 – 7 Error An error occurred during prior input or command processing. The value of these three bits
denotes the particular condition that occurred.
Name Value Description
OK 0 Enabled, no error.
RstLocked 1 The AT88SC118 is disabled until the next power cycle or reset assertion. Whenever the error
bits are in this state, the Busy bit in the status register will also be asserted.
BadCmd 2 The formatting of the command was invalid, or one of the operands had an unacceptable value.
TimeDelay 3
The AT88SC118 is disabled up for a certain period of time and will respond to commands after
this delay has elapsed. This delay may be a Power Delay (Section 1.6.2, “Reset Protection and
Power Delay”) or Security Delay (Section 1.6.3, “Reset Locking”). Whenever the error bits are
in this state, the Busy bit in the status register will also be asserted.
AuthFail 4 Either authentication must be completed prior to the execution of this command or there was a
problem during the execution of the auth commands themselves.

1.5 Memory Architecture
The 4Kb (512 byte) EEPROM within the AT88SC118 is organized into a number of sections, each of which have different
access restrictions.
1.5.1 Memory Locking
On shipment from Atmel, certain locations are preloaded by Atmel, per Section 1.5.13, “Memory Initialization Values”. All
other data locations are unknown. The system manufacturer should load all areas important for proper system operation
with the desired initial values.
When this initialization is complete, the Lock command should be executed which limits access to the memory per the
restrictions listed later in this section. The system can determine the current lock value by using the
ReadManufacturingID command to read out the ManufacturingID value (MfrID) and the lock byte.
The table below describes the encoding of the least significant two bits of the Lock byte. On shipment from Atmel,
Lock[1:0] will have a value of either 10 or 00, depending on the part number ordered. An AT88SC118 in either of these
two states is considered unlocked. It is not possible to change from one of these unlocked states to the other.
After the Lock command has been executed, the Lock byte will have the value 0xFF. Subsequent changes to the Lock
byte are impossible.
Table 1-10. Memory Locking
1.5.2 Secure Personalization
Customers desiring to write secrets into the AT88SC118 during personalization without exposing these secrets to
attackers should purchase the version of the chip in which Lock[1:0] is 10.
In these parts, Atmel will write a transport key into the EncKey location within EEPROM during wafer probe. Once the
AT88SC118 leaves the Atmel factory, the EncKey location cannot be written under any circumstances.
When the part is unlocked and therefore in the personalization phase, the WriteMemoryEncrypted command permits the
incoming data to be encrypted using EncKey as the encryption key. Data can also be written unencrypted if desired.
Verification of the EEPROM contents must use the ReadMemoryDigest command as ReadMemory is prohibited in these
parts as shipped. Once locked, the WriteMemoryEncrypted and ReadMemoryDigest commands are prohibited —
WriteMemory and ReadMemory are then enabled over a restricted address space.
The value written into EncKey will be the first 16 bytes of the SHA-1 digest of the concatenation of the 15 byte
ManufacturingID with a 16 byte secret provided to Atmel by the system manufacturer. The upper six bits of the Lock byte
will contain a secret tag assigned by Atmel to differentiate between various secrets that may have been used to generate
EncKey. This tag will be erased when the AT88SC118 is locked, leaving the Lock byte with the value 0xFF.

1.5.3 ManufacturingID (MfrID)
These 15 bytes contain unique wafer manufacturing information. This data can be used as the AT88SC118 serial
number if desired and can also be used by Atmel to track production of the part. It is written by Atmel at wafer test and
cannot be modified by the customer, regardless of whether or not the part has been locked.
The ManufacturingID value can only be obtained by executing the ReadManufacturingID command.
Note: If Lock[1:0] is ‘10’, then the contents of the second 32 byte block which includes this value can be accessed with
ReadMemoryDigest. ReadMemory can never be used to access the first 48 bytes of memory (SHA Constant,
EncKey, MfrID, and Lock).
1.5.4 Passwords
P0 – P15. These are the passwords used to enable reading and/or writing of various zones in CRF. For example, CP0 is
the configuration byte for P0, and determines the particular attributes which govern the use of P0. The password
configuration bytes are organized as below:
Table 1-11. Password Configuration Bits.
Once the AT88SC118 is locked, these elements (P0 – P15 and CP0 – CP15) can never be read directly, nor can they be
written.
1.5.5 Nonvolatile Counters
The AT88SC118 implements four counters that can each increment to a maximum value of 6.4 million. They cannot be
reset, nor can they be decremented. Their current state can be read using the ReadCounter command and they are
incremented with the IncrementCounter command. It is recommended that the IncrementCounter command not be
issued after the counter has reached a value of 6.4 million. Access to these two commands does not require
authorization to have completed.
The above constraints only apply to a locked CMC. In an unlocked AT88SC118, the contents of the EEPROM locations
that hold the current state of the various counters can be freely read and/or written using ReadMemory
(ReadMemoryDigest) or WriteMemory (WriteMemoryEncrypted).
They should be initialized to a count of zero before the AT88SC118 is locked, by writing the following values into all four
of the 16 byte counter areas:
0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xFF 0x00 0x00 0x00” at addresses “x0, x1, …
Atmel recommends that all counters be properly initialized even if the application does not utilize all of them.
Bit Name Description
0 Encrypt If 1 = EncryptPassword will return this password value in the clear. In this situation, the
password offers little security value but may be useful for mapping.
1 Connect If 1 = Then obey the “F number” restrictions below.
If 0 = Ignore “F Number”.
2 – 3 Reserved Must be zero.
4 – 7 F Number
The secret to which this password is connected. Unless the current authentication
session has been computed using this secret this password cannot be read in either clear
or encrypted mode.

Atmel-8857A-CryptoComp-AT88SC118-Datasheet_052013
1.5.6 RNGSeed
This location within the EEPROM is initialized during Atmel manufacturing with a 16 byte random number obtained from
an external high quality hardware random number generator. It is used as part of the input to the random number
generation capability within the AT88SC118. It may be read and/or written when the part is unlocked.
Caution: Atmel does not recommend that it be written to a fixed value.
1.5.7 Read-Only Memory
When the part is locked, the memory in this area can be read but never written except as described in the next
paragraph. After the system has properly responded to the startup challenge, there are no restrictions on the reading of
this memory. This memory section starts at address 0x110 and extends to 0x100 | RW-Bound – 1.
RW-Bound must be at least 0x10 and less than 0xF8 or F-Bound, whichever is smaller.
1.5.8 Read/Write Memory
The memory in this area has general Read/Write permissions, similar to a standard Serial EEPROM. After the system
has properly responded to the startup challenge, there are no restrictions on the access to this memory.
The first byte in this section is at address 0x100 | RW-Bound. If RW-Bound is less than 0x10, the results will be
unpredictable.
1.5.9 Secrets
F0 – F15. These secrets are used to generate the GC value for the particular CM/CRF chip based on the F1 algorithm,
SHA-1. Up to 16 F values that can be supported by the AT88SC118.
The low byte of the memory address of the first should be written into F-Bound. The three least significant bits of F-bound
are ignored. The first F value is always F0, independent of F-Bound. If F-bound is < RW-Bound or if F-Bound is < 0x80,
the results will be unpredictable.
Example: If F-Bound is 0xD0, the first F value is F0 at memory address 0x1D0. The last F value is F5 at address
0x1F8.
Example: If 0xFF is written into F-Bound, CMC will use only a single secret, named F0, which will be located at
address 0x1F8 (since the low three bits of F-bound are ignored).
These elements can never be read directly, nor can they be written after the part has been locked.
1.5.10 CF0 – CF15
This location within the EEPROM is initialized during Atmel manufacturing with a 16 byte random number obtained from
an external high quality hardware random number generator. It is used internally within the AT88SC118. It may be read
and/or written when the part is unlocked.
Caution: Atmel does not recommend that it be written to a fixed value.
1.5.11 Restricted Bytes
These locations within the EEPROM are initialized during Atmel manufacturing with a four byte random number obtained
from an external high quality hardware random number generator. It is used internally within the AT88SC118. It cannot
be read and/or written when the part is unlocked or locked. When reading from these locations, the result will be 0xFF for
these four bytes.

1.6 Security Features
1.6.1 Environmental Detectors
The AT88SC118 contains an over and under voltage detector for VCC and includes a POR detector to prevent any
unknown startup states. If this detector is triggered, the AT88SC118 will be held in reset until the condition is cleared.
The operating clock is internally generated independent of SDA and SCL and glitches on those pins are filtered out. The
AT88SC118 includes a metal obfuscation pattern over the memory block.
1.6.2 Reset Protection and Power Delay
There is a Reset Protection Register in EEPROM (RstProt) that normally has a value of one before power is applied. On
reset, the AT88SC118 writes this register in the EEPROM to a value of zero, and starts a counter. That counter counts
1MHz clocks up to a total delay interval of approximately 67 seconds, and at that time, the AT88SC118 writes the
protection register to a value of one. If a command is in progress when this time interval is reached, the register will be
updated at the completion of the command. After this write, the reset protection circuit goes idle until the next reset.
If at the time of reset or power-up, the Protection Register already has a value of zero, then the AT88SC118 goes into a
Power Delay state for the same amount of time during which it will neither accept nor acknowledge any command. At the
end of the time interval, it will reset the register to a value of one and resume normal operation. A power-up or pin reset
during the Power Delay interval will restart the delay counter and start a new interval during which commands will be
ignored.
The AT88SC118 is designed to permit the system to execute the reset operation (and operate for at least 67 seconds) a
minimum of one million times. If the part is continuously reset every 67 seconds, this limit will be reached in about two
years.
The Power Delay of 67 seconds is the maximum delay that the AT88SC118 can support. The actual delay is derived
from the contents PwrDelay byte within the EEPROM, according to the following table. The measured delay will vary by
up to +/- 25% over manufacturing and operating conditions.
Table 1-14. Reset Protection and Power Delay
Note: 1. Short power delay times may decrease the overall security of the system.
The reset protection circuit and associated power delay operates regardless of whether the AT88SC118 is locked or
unlocked.
Failure to meet Power-Up and Power-Down conditions listed inTable 1-1, for the VCC and GND pins may result in
invoking a reset protection state, causing a Power Delay interval.
PwrDelay Nominal Delay Interval PwrDelay Nominal Delay Interval
0x00 262ms 0x10 4.5s
0x01 524ms 0x20 8.7s
0x02 785ms 0x40 17s

15
Atmel AT88SC118 [DATASHEET]
Atmel-8857A-CryptoComp-AT88SC118-Datasheet_052013
1.6.3 Reset Locking
Certain conditions cause the AT88SC118 to lock up until the Reset pin is asserted or the power is cycled. Depending on
the time interval from the last power-up, this action may or may not cause a delay to be enforced. During this time, the
Status Register will show the RstLocked error state and the Busy pin will be asserted.
Some command other than VerifyFlash is attempted before Startup/ChallengeResponse has been run or some
command other than ChallengeResponse follows Startup.
ChallengeResponse is run but the preceding command is not Startup.
VerifyFlash fails for any reason other than that it has been disabled.
ChallengeResponse fails for any reason.
Second attempt to run VerifyFlash in a single power cycle.
1.6.4 Security Delay
When certain operations do not complete successfully, the AT88SC118 will enter a temporary security delay for a period
of time during which no commands will be honored by the AT88SC118. During this time, the system may read the Status
Register which will contain the TimeDelay error code and busy bit set.
The following conditions cause the AT88SC118 to enter a security delay when it is locked. Unlocked AT88SC118 chips
never enter the security delay sequence.
A second attempt to run Startup after the first has completed within the same power or reset cycle.
Some command other than Auth_2 follows Auth_1.
The values sent to the AT88SC118 for Auth_2 do not match those computed internally (authentication failed).
The values sent to the AT88SC118 for Encryption_2 do not match those computed internally (encryption key
verification failed).
An illegal command ordinal is sent to the AT88SC118.
The first time one of these conditions is detected after a power cycle or reset event, the AT88SC118 will delay ~260ms.
After each subsequent failure condition is detected, the AT88SC118 will delay for an interval twice the length of the
previous delay.
Once this doubling reaches a delay equal to or greater than PwrDelay, all subsequent failure conditions will trigger a
lockout interval equal to PwrDelay. The maximum Security Delay is 32s, regardless of the value of PwrDelay.
1.6.5 Command Sequencing
Depending on whether the AT88SC118 is locked or not, some commands must be executed in a certain order, this
section outlines those restrictions.
1.6.5.1 When AT88SC118 is Unlocked
When the AT88SC118 is unlocked, there is no security delay, and there is no requirement that Startup/Challenge be
executed prior to any other command. This strategy may facilitate quicker initialization.
Note: The Power Delay continues to be active when unlocked and authentication must still be run for those commands
that require it (EncryptPassword, Encryption_1&2, GrindBytes).
When the AT88SC118 is unlocked, the following commands are enabled:
Read Memory can be run only if the least significant two bits of the lock byte in EEPROM are both zero. All
locations from 0x30 onwards can be read.
ReadMemoryDigest can be run on all locations within the EEPROM if Lock[1:0] has a value of 0x10.
WriteMemory can be run over all locations from 0x30 onwards.
WriteMemoryEncrypted can only be run if Lock[1:0] has a value of 0x10.
The Lock command can be run to exit the unlocked state.
1.6.5.2 When AT88SC118 is Locked
When the AT88SC118 is locked, the security delays from Section 1.6.3, “Reset Locking” apply.
Atmel AT88SC118 [DATASHEET]
Atmel-8857A-CryptoComp-AT88SC118-Datasheet_052013
16
The first command run after power-up or a reset must be either VerifyFlash or Startup. If the first command is Startup,
then VerifyFlash cannot be run until the next power cycle. If the first command is VerifyFlash, then the next command
must be Startup. After Startup, the next command must always be Challenge Response.
No other command can be run until ChallengeResponse has successfully completed. Any attempt to run another
command prior to ChallengeResponse or a failure of the ChallengeResponse command will cause the AT88SC118 to
lock up until the next power cycle or reset assertion.
A complete and successful authentication sequence (Auth_1 and Auth_2) must be run prior to those commands that
require it:
EncryptPassword
Encryption_1
Encryption_2
GrindBytes.
Failure to run the authentication sequence will result in an error code in the Status Register but no delay.
When the AT88SC118 is locked, the following commands are disabled:
WriteMemoryEncrypted
ReadMemoryDigest
Lock.
WriteMemory is available only for Read/Write memory (the region between RWBound and F-Bound). ReadMemory is
only available for ReadOnly + ReadWrite memory (the region between address 0x110 and F-Bound). Any attempt to
violate these restrictions will result in a BadCmd error message but no penalty.

2. CMC CRF Authentication
The AT88SC118 supports the mutual authentication sequence of the CRF chip in a manner such that the shared secrets
are not ever exposed on theAT88SC118 or CRF busses. This section describes that mutual authentication sequence. To
be consistent with the parameter names in the command descriptions, the
AT88SC118 is referred to by its alternate name of CMC.
2.1 Nomenclature
Table 2-1. Nomenclature
Symbol Description
Xi
The subscript ‘i’ indicates a key index in the CRF memory array. CRF contains four sets of key values. Only
those from a single set can be used in a successful authentication sequence.
YA, YE
The superscripts ‘A’ and ‘E’ indicate the two possible phases of the crypto setup for CRF:
‘A’ indicates the authentication phase which prefaces all cryptographic communication with CRF.
‘E’ indicates the optional encryption phase.
CThe initial cryptogram state from CRF to CMC. It is the state generated as a result of a previous authentication
or encryption sequence and is unique.
CH, Ci
These values are the challenge and response during the mutual authentication and encryption sequences:
CHA is the authentication challenge to CRF from CMC.
CiA is the authentication response from CRF to CMC.
CA is the copy of this computed within CMC.
CHE is the encryption challenge to CRF from CMC.
CiE is the encryption response from CRF to CMC.
CE is the copy of this computed within CMC.
F2
This is the Atmel proprietary algorithm implemented within CMC and CRF.
[A, B, C] = F2(X, Y, Z) indicates that X, Y, and Z are inputs to the F2 algorithm, and that execution of the
algorithm on these inputs yields the set of outputs A, B, and C.
G, GiThe secret stored in CRF or computed on CMC from ID and Fn.
ID This is the unique serial or identification number for CRF which is obtained from the Nc register within the CRF
EEPROM.
KID
This is a constant generated by the external system in a manner of its choosing. It should typically be a function
of the ID number and an external secret, but may also include other information about the item to which CRF is
attached, the system configuration or other values held external to CMC. CMC treats KID as a constant and
does not interpret its value.
QThese are random values created in the RNG of CMC which are used as part of the authentication and
encryption sequences.
SA, SiA
These are the encryption keys generated as part of the authentication sequence:
– SA is generated by CMC.
SiA is independently generated by CRF.
Their value should be identical. The S keys generated by the encryption sequence are ignored.

3. Command Descriptions
3.1 VerifyFlash Command
System sends information to the AT88SC118 which would typically be based on the state of an external nonvolatile (e.g.
Flash) program store. If the input digest indicates a problem, the AT88SC118 will set up the Status Register to indicate a
RstLocked error code but will accept no commands until the next reset or power cycle. This command can be run once
only per reset.
If Mode.Bit [1:0] == 00
This command simply verifies that the incoming digest matches that stored in memory. This is useful if the external
ASIC has hardware that can verify the boot code, in which case that hardware would respond to the return code of
this command. VerifyFlash must run before startup.
If Mode.Bit [1:0] == 01
This command implements a simple signature mechanism for an externally loaded module. In this case the
FlashDigest stored in EEPROM is a secret also known by the entity that generates legal download images. The
system sends both the download digest and the signature to the AT88SC118; the AT88SC118 generates a
comparison signature using its stored value and verifies that they are the same. This mode is useful if the external
system has some confidence in the boot code, but does not have sufficient space to implement a full public key
signature verification module. VerifyFlash must run before startup.
If Mode.Bit [1:0] == 11
This command is disabled.
Mode.Bit [1:0] == 10
This command should not be used.
VerifyFlash
It will return OK without any computation or comparison being performed.

3.2 Startup Command
The AT88SC118 resets all internal state, generates a 20 byte random number, and sends to system as challenge start.
To permit the system processor to mutually authenticate the AT88SC118, it will also compute a response to a challenge
from the system.
CmcResponse = SHA-1(CmcChallenge, CmcSecret).
This command can be run only once per reset or power cycle.
Table 3-3. Inputs
Table 3-4. Outputs
3.3 ChallengeResponse Command
System sends 20 byte challenge response to the AT88SC118. The AT88SC118 computes SHA1 (SysChallenge,
SystemSecret) and compares with response. If incorrect, the AT88SC118 locks up until the next time the Reset pin is
asserted or power is removed.
The prior command must have been Startup, or the AT88SC118 will enter the RstLocked state.

3.4 Auth_1 Command
Loads into the AT88SC118 the accessible information about the CRF for which authentication is to be computed and
builds the values needed for the CRF chip to perform its authentication sequence. This step computes the values of CA
and SA. These values are retained in volatile registers within the AT88SC118 (named C and S) for use during Auth_2 and
Encrypt_1. See Section 2.2, “Authentication and Encryption Sequence” or more details on the authentication algorithm.
Execution of this command automatically resets any previous state including C and S registers and causes a reset of the
crypto engine state.
After execution of Auth_1, the next command must be Auth_2. If it is not, the AT88SC118 locks up for some time. See
Section 1.6.3, “Reset Locking”.
Table 3-7. Inputs
Table 3-8. Outputs
3.5 Auth_2 Command
Receives the output of the CRF authentication command and verifies that the CRF chip has knowledge of G. See
Section 2.2, “Authentication and Encryption Sequence” for more details on the authentication algorithm.
If the incoming CiA value is incorrect, the AT88SC118 locks up for some time. See Section 1.6.3, “Reset Locking”.
The authentication times out when a delay of one second expire; at this point one must re-authenticate.

3.6 EncryptPassword Command
Compute an encrypted password to be sent to the CRF, using the current state of the crypto engine. This can be run at
any time after the authentication sequence has completed. This command is optional.
Table 3-11. Inputs
Table 3-12. Outputs
3.7 Encryption_1 Command
Similar to Auth_1, this sequence generates an intermediate value used for subsequent encryption of data to/from CRF.
This pass through the crypto engine is similar to the computation done during authentication with the exceptions that G is
replaced by S, the input C is replaced with the AT88SC118 register C, and QE is newly generated by the RNG on the
AT88SC118. See Section 2.2, “Authentication and Encryption Sequence” for more details on the encryption algorithm.
A valid authentication sequence must be run before these commands which will have set up the C and S registers. This
command (and its mate, Encryption_2) can be run multiple times per authentication sequence, but running it more than
once will cause the AT88SC118 to be out of synchronization with CRF until the next Auth_1/Auth_2 sequence is run.
After execution of Encryption_1, the next command must be Encryption_2. If not, the AT88SC118 will lock up for a
security delay.

3.8 Encryption_2 Command
Similar to Auth_2, this sequence takes the encryption response from CRF and compares it the value computed at the
end of Encryption_1.
This command can only be run after the execution of Encryption_1. If the incoming CiE value is incorrect, the AT88SC118
locks up for a security delay (see Section 1.6.3, “Reset Locking”) and sets the error code in the status register to
AuthFail.

3.9 GrindBytes Command
Passes a variable number of bytes through the crypto engine on the AT88SC118 and sends the output of the crypto
engine back to the system. This command is used to keep the AT88SC118 in sync with the crypto engine on the CRF
chip, to decrypt encrypted data read from CRF, to encrypt data to be written to CRF, and to generate or verify a
checksum.
The AT88SC118 does not interpret these bytes, merely passes them through the crypto engine.
GrindBytes cannot be run prior to the successful execution of the Auth_2 nor after the execution of the Clear command.
There is a limit of 4096 for maximum number of GrindBytes that can be run per Authentication.

3.10 GetRandom Command
The AT88SC118 generates a 20 byte random number using its internal high quality random number generator and
outputs this value. There is no restriction on the system as to where these random numbers may be used — their
cryptographic quality makes them suitable for any operation on the system in addition to the CRF operations.
When the AT88SC118 is unlocked, the random numbers generated will follow a predictable pattern based on the state of
the RNGSeed EEPROM value and the number of power cycles since this seed has been written. This mechanism
facilitates testing.

the user. This command provides a mechanism of verifying that the personalization of the chip completed correctly
before the one-time lock has been run.
Note: Specifying an address of zero requires that the verifier know the value of EncKey.

3.18 Lock Command
Locks the current memory values into the AT88SC118, per the description in Section 1.5.1, “Memory Locking”. Once
Locked, the AT88SC118 cannot be unlocked. After the execution of this command, the Lock Byte will have a value of
0xFF. This command has no effect on locked parts.
There are no inputs or outputs to this command.
3.19 Clear Command
Clears the current authentication state, empties the C and S registers and prepares the chip for a new authentication. A
new startup challenge/response is not required. There are no input or output arguments to this command.
After execution of this command, the Auth_1 / Auth_2 sequence must be successfully completed before subsequent
execution of EncryptPassword, Encryption_1 and 2, and/or GrindBytes.
3.20 Crunch Command
Passes a random number of eight bytes through the crunch engine on the AT88SC118 and sends the output of the
crunch engine back to the system. This command is used to ensure the AT88SC118 is talking with an actual CRF chip,
which should respond with the same answer in the given time frame
The AT88SC118 does not interpret these bytes, merely passes them through the crunch engine.

4. Command Execution Times
The following table lists the nominal execution times for the various commands in Section 3., “Command Descriptions”,
subject to the assumptions following the table.
Some of the commands take a variable amount of time based on the input parameters and/or the current state of the
AT88SC118. In general, the table below shows the worst case operational flow, subject to the list of assumptions
following the table. Actual execution time will vary from the nominal by ±25% due to variations of the internal oscillator.
This preliminary data is advisory in nature. Designs should not depend on the specific execution times below, but rather
use the standard handshake mechanisms described above. The values below are characterized on the part but are not
tested in production.
Table 4-1. Nominal Execution Times
Assumptions:
1. TWI clock assumed to be at 400KHz.
2. TWI command times — zero bytes of data ~ 75μs. Additional byte ~ 25μs.
3. VerifyFlash command is run with Mode.Bit [1:0] = 01 case.
4. GrindBytes command assumes 20 bytes of data.
5. WriteMemory and ReadMemory commands assume 16 bytes of data.
6. These processing times do not include data transfer on the TWI.
