Cryptographic Authentication with ICODE DNA
NXP ICODE DNA provides cryptographic authentication to enable privacy protection and uses through ISO/IEC 29167-10 standardized tag authentication. Its cryptographic security uses three 128-bit keys based on AES (advanced encryption standard) algorithms. The high data integrity of 16-bit CRC framing and 53 kbit/s fast data transfer leads to fast anti-collision read. The persistent quiet mode feature allows for faster inventory speed than before.
ICODE DNA provides medical equipment, high-value brand manufacturers and suppliers convenient document tracking and authentication from source to sale along the supply chain. Additionally, system integration can be made easy with a broad range of supporting tools.
