Rousset, France and Heilbronn, Germany (ots/PRNewswire)

- New Chip Boasts Industry's Highest Proven Resistance Against Any
Security Attack
Atmel(R)Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), a global leader in the
development  and fabrication of advanced semiconductor solutions,
announced today that  the AT90SC12836RCT based on the secureAVR(TM)
architecture has been granted Common Criteria certification EAL4+
augmented to AVA_VLA.4. This vulnerability assessment corresponds to
today's highest proven resistance against any security attack. This
chip also received MasterCard Cast and approval.
The AT90SC12836RCT features 36 Kbytes of EEPROM, 128 Kbytes of ROM
program memory and 5 Kbytes of RAM. It shares the same common
features of Atmel's secureAVR(TM) family including its outstanding
8-bit/16-bit RISC core and the new AdvX(TM) crypto accelerator for an
increased PKI performance and a significant security enhancement.
Atmel's AT90SC12836RCT secure microcontroller is specifically
tailored to serve healthcare, banking and government applications to
meet the requirements in terms of a high performance secure platform
at a very competitive price.
The AT90SC12836RCT has already been chosen for the new generation
of Vitale(TM) French National Health Card. In fact, Atmel has been a
major component supplier from the beginning of the SESAM-Vitale
program, in April 1998 by delivering more than 40 million secure
microcontrollers.
"The security features of the secureAVR 8-bit/16-bit RISC family
have once again been highlighted with this new reward," said Michel
Bartosik, Atmel's Smart Card IC Business Development Manager. "This
new certification leverages Atmel's expertise to design highly secure
smart card ICs and reinforces its commitment to serve government and
banking markets with the best products."
