SmartMX family approach

The new CMOS14 SmartMX family members feature a modular set of devices with:

SmartMX family properties

The long-term approved SmartMX family features a significantly enhanced secure smart card IC architecture. Extended instructions for Java and C code, linear addressing, high speed at low power and a universal memory management unit are among many other improvements added to the classic 80C51 core architecture. The technology transfer step from 5-metal-layer 0.18 μm to 5-metal-layer 0.14 μm CMOS technology now offers even more advantages in terms of security features, memory resources, crypto coprocessor calculation speed for RSA and ECC as well as availability of secure hardware support for 2/3-key Data Encryption Standard (DES) operations.

The contact interface availability enables the easy implementation of native or open platform and multi-application operating systems in market segments such as banking, E-passport, ID card, secure access, Java card as well as Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) within extremely tiny SMD packages

Cryptographic hardware coprocessors
FameXE coprocessor

The security hardened and modular FameXE architecture supports the trend of increasing RSA keys with faster execution speeds as well as Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) based on GF(p) or GF(2n) at best performance. FameXE supports RSA with an operand length of up to 8-kbit (up to 4-kbit with intermediate storage in RAM only).

The FameXE PKI coprocessor supports 192-bit ECC key length that offers the same level of security as 2048-bit RSA. An ECC GF(2n) based signature, using a 163-bit key can be executed in less than 30 ms providing a security level comparable to 1024-bit RSA. The operand size for ECC, supported by FameXE, is only limited by the 2.5 KB size of the FXRAM. FameXE is easy to use and the flexible interface provides programmers with the freedom to implement their own cryptography solutions. A secure and CC EAL5+ certified crypto library providing a large range of required functions will be available for all devices in order to support customers in implementing public key-based solutions.

Triple-DES coprocessor

The DES widely used for symmetric encryption is supported by a dedicated, high performance, highly attack-resistant hardware coprocessor. Single DES and Triple-DES, based on two or three DES keys, can be executed within less than 40 μs. Relevant standards (ISO/IEC, ANSI, FIPS) and Message Authentication Code (MAC) are fully supported. A secured and CC EAL5+ certified crypto library will be available for all devices in order to support customers in implementing 3DES based solutions.

SmartMX interface
SmartMX contact interface

Operating in accordance with ISO/IEC 7816, the SmartMX contact interface is supported by a built-in Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART), which enables data rates of up to 1 Mbit/s allowing for the automatic generation of all typical baud rates and supports transmission protocols T=0 and T=1. An additional IO is available for proprietary use.

Security features

SmartMX incorporates a wide range of both inherent and OS-controlled security features as countermeasure against all types of attacks. NXP Semiconductors apply their extensive knowledge of chip security, combined with handshaking circuit technology, very dense 5-metal layer 0.14 μm technology, glue logic and active shielding methodology for optimum results in CC EAL5+, EMVCo and other third party certifications and approvals.

The SmartMX security features are acknowledged by most of the NXP Semiconductors customers for their outstanding properties. The counter measures against light attacks are regarded as “best-in-class”.

Security evaluation and certificates

Hardware security certification in accordance with CC EAL5+ is attained. Also, third-party approval such as EMVCo (VISA, CAST), ZKA and others, depending on the application requirements, are available.

NXP Semiconductors continues to drive forward third party security evaluations to provide its customers with the relevant information and documentation needed to execute subsequent composite evaluations of implemented applications.

Security licensing

In addition to the various intellectual properties regarding attack resistance of the NXP Semiconductors’ owned SmartMX family, NXP Semiconductors has obtained a patent license for SPA and DPA countermeasures from Cryptography Research Incorporated (CRI). This license covers both hardware and software countermeasures. It is important to customers that countermeasures within the operation system are covered under this license agreement with CRI. Further details can be obtained on request.
