PRODUCTION DATA.
The bq27546-G1 device can act as a SHA-1/HMAC authentication slave by using its internal engine. Sending a 160-bit SHA-1 challenge message to the bq27546-G1 fuel gauge causes the gauge to return a 160-bit digest, based upon the challenge message and a hidden, 128-bit plain-text authentication key. If this digest matches an identical one generated by a host or dedicated authentication master, and when operating on the same challenge message and using the same plain text keys, the authentication process is successful.
