features
The A5000 provides a secure and efficient protection for authentication and anti-counterfeit use cases. The
efficiency of the security measures is proven by a Common Criteria EAL6+ certification.
The A5000 operates fully autonomously based on an authenticaton software ready to be used. The product
comes with a dedicated authentication application. Direct memory access is possible by the fixed functionalities
of the NXP Authentication application only. With that, the content from the memory is fully isolated from the host
system.
