The DS2460 SHA-1 Coprocessor with EEPROM is a
hardware implementation of the ISO/IEC 10118-3
Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1), eliminating the need
to develop software to perform the complex SHA
computation required for authenticating SHA devices
and for performing the validation of digitally signed
service data. The DS2460 communicates with a
microcontroller through the popular I²C interface.
Applications include hosts of access control and
electronic payment systems for token authentication
and service data validation as well as generation of
one-time-use encryption keys for short message
encryption and decryption for messages not exceeding
the length of a SHA-1 result, which is 20 bytes.
