Network access security device

card.jpg (4016 bytes)

The Product:
Low-cost battery powered device the size of a credit card which generates and displays a pseudo-random number once a minute.  An even smaller version fits on a keychain.

Our customer's need:
Redesign the existing product to use a newer, lower cost microcontroller.

Our solution:
Use a 4-bit controller which draws only a couple of microamps.  Port the code over to the new processor.  Add some features and fix some longstanding bugs in the process.  Consume little current, allowing the product to operate for over 5 years on a single Lithium button-cell battery.

Our involvement:
Complete electronics and firmware design.  We also developed a PC-based tester to support SQA's design verification.
