The CMOS18 SmartMX family members are a modular set of devices featuring:
1.2 CMOS18 SmartMX family properties
The long-established CMOS18 SmartMX family features an 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 SmartMX platform manufactured in CMOS 0.18 μm 5-metal layer technology offers many advantages in terms of security features, memory resources, crypto-coprocessor calculation speed for RSA/ECC as well as availability of secure hardware support for 2-key and 3-key Data Encryption Standard (DES) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) operations.
The contact interface availability, the optional contactless interface and the optional Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 LS interface enable the easy implementation of native or open platform and multi-application operating systems in market segments such as banking, ID cards, health cards, conditional access (pay TV), Java cards, as well as Trusted Platform Modules (TPM).
1.4 Cryptographic hardware coprocessors
1.4.1 FameXE coprocessor
The approved and modular FameXE architecture supports the trend of increasing RSA keys with faster execution speeds as well as 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.
1.4.2 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 secure crypto library element for DES is available.
1.4.3 AES coprocessor
SmartMX is the first smart card microcontroller platform to provide a dedicated high performance 128-bit parallel processing coprocessor to support secure AES. The implementation is based on FIPS197 as standardized by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), and supports key lengths of 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit with performance levels comparable to DES. AES is the next generation for symmetric data encryption and recommended successor to DES providing a significantly improved security level. A secure crypto library element for AES is available.
1.5 SmartMX interfaces
1.5.1 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.
1.5.2 SmartMX USB 2.0 (Low Speed) interface
SmartMX offers a fully integrated USB interface based on the USB 2.0 Low Speed (LS) standard SmartMX, making SmartMX-based IC cards “Plug and Play” compatible with the whole PC world without the use of complex reader devices or extra external components. The USB interface uses the ISO contact module and works via a 4-wire connection to any PC supporting “hot Plug and Play”. The card automatically recognizes an ISO or USB environment and works with either an external frequency of 6 MHz or an internally generated clock. The use of USB interfaces on smart cards is defined within ISO/IEC 7816-12.
1.5.3 SmartMX contactless interface
The optional contactless interface is fully compatible with ISO/IEC 14443 type A as well as NXP Semiconductors’ field proven MIFARE technology. A dedicated Contactless Interface Unit (CIU) manages and supports communication using data rates of up to 848 kbit/s. A true anti-collision method (in accordance with ISO/IEC 14443-3) enables multiple cards to be handled simultaneously.
The optional MIFARE functionality provided in configurations B1 (MIFARE 1 KB emulation) and B4 (MIFARE 4 KB implementation) safeguard the interface compatibility with any installed MIFARE infrastructure. The ability to run the MIFARE protocol concurrently with other contactless transmission protocols implemented by the user Operating System (OS) (T=CL or self defined) enables the combination of new services and existing applications based on MIFARE (e.g. ticketing) on a single dual interface controller-based smart card.
A tutorial software library for ISO/IEC 14443-3 and ISO/IEC 14443-4 is available to support NXP Semiconductors’ customers for easy integration of the contactless technology into current system solutions.
1.6 Security features
SmartMX incorporates a range of both inherent and OS-controlled security features as a countermeasure against all types of attack. NXP Semiconductors apply their extensive knowledge of chip security, combined with handshaking circuit technology, 5-metal layer 0.18 μm technology, glue logic and active shielding methodology for optimum results in CC EAL5+, EMVCo and other third-party certifications and approvals.
SmartMX Memory Management Unit (MMU), designed to define various memory segments and assign security attributes accordingly, supports a strong firewall concept that keeps different applications separate from each other. Only the System mode has full access privileges to all memory space and on-chip peripherals, in User mode the privileges are limited. User mode restrictions are configurable by software running in System mode.
The SmartMX security features are acknowledged as having outstanding properties by most NXP Semiconductors’ customers. The countermeasures against light attacks are regarded as “best-in-class”.
1.7 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.
1.8 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 operating system are covered under this license agreement with CRI. Further details can be obtained on request.
1.9 P5Cx009 and P5Cx072 device description
The device is a secure PKI smart card controller of the SmartMX platform featuring 96 KB to 160 KB of ROM, 4608 B of RAM and 10 KB to 72 KB of EEPROM, which can be used as data memory and as program memory. The device also has a USB 2.0 (LS) interface which is the reason why the device is called a “Secure triple interface smart card controller”. The non-volatile memory consists of high reliability memory cells to guarantee data integrity, which is especially important when the EEPROM is used as program memory.
Operated both in Contact mode (ISO/IEC 7816) and in Contactless mode (ISO/IEC 14443) the user defines the final function of the chip with his Chip Operating System (COS). This allows the same level of security, functionality and flexibility for the contact interface as well as for the contactless interface.
The field proven RF interface technology (in accordance with ISO/IEC 14443-2) is well established in all products of the MIFARE interface platform and provides reliable communication and secure processing, even in electro-magnetically harsh environments such as buses or train stations. Compatibility with existing MIFARE reader infrastructure and the optional emulation modes of MIFARE 1 KB or MIFARE 4 KB emulation enable fast system integration and backward compatibility of MIFARE.
Bi-directional communication with the contact interface of the device can be performed through up to three serial IOs. These IOs are under full control of the application software in order to allow conditional controlled access to the different internal memories.
The on-chip hardware is software controlled via Special Function Registers (SFRs). Their function and usage is described in the respective sections of the product data sheet as the SFRs are correlated to the activities of the CPU, Interrupt, IO, EEPROM, Timers, etc.
The device has two power-saving modes for reduced activity: the Idle, and the Sleep or Clockstop mode. Both modes are activated by software.
The device operates either with a single 1.8 V, 3 V or 5 V (voltage Class C, B and A) power supply at a maximum external clock frequency of 10 MHz supplied via the contact pads (internally up to 31 MHz) or with a power supply generated from the RF-field emitted by an RF-reader applied to the antenna connections on pads LA and LB.
