Security features:

Since the very beginning, security is an integrated part of Infineons product development, as proved by various

certificates (ITSEC, CC, Proton, VISA, ZKA, Mondex). The so called “integral security concept” for the 66P series

ensures:

HW or SW attacks

Peripherals: The CRC module allows the easy generation of checksums according to ISO/IEC 3309 (16-Bit-CRC). To

minimize the overall power consumption, the chip card controller IC offers a sleep mode. The UART supports the half-

duplex transmission protocols T=0 and T=1 according to ISO/IEC 7816-3. All relevant transmission parameters can be

adjusted by software, as e.g. the clock division factor, direct/inverse convention and the number of stop bits. Additionally,

the I/O port can be driven by communication routines realized in software.

Symmetric algorithms can be processed in software.

The random number generator (RNG) is able to supply the CPU with true random numbers on all conditions.

The advanced sensor concept includes various sensors for any kind of attacks scenarios and even more important a

“Life Test ” for sensors.

As an important feature, the chip provides an on-chip security, which fulfills the strong security requirements of a

Common Criteria evaluation at an EAL5+ level.

The SLE 66C161PE fulfills all requirements of today's chip card applications and is especially designed for mainstream

GSM applications.

The SLE66C161PE integrates outstanding memory sizes, in combination with enhanced erformance and optimized

power consumption on a minimized die size.
