JAJST23 June 2024 BQ41Z50
ADVANCE INFORMATION
In addition to SHA-1- and SHA-2-based authentication, the BQ41Z50 device supports authentication by the host with Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), which uses 233-bit key system for the authentication process. The BQ41Z50 device employs the EC-KCDSA variant of ECC authentication. Additionally, the ECC private key is required to be stored only in the Battery Pack Manager, which makes ECC-based key management more simple and secure. The signing time would be less than 100ms and the FW architecture to support this response time enables an additional level of protection.
Additional information will be provided at device release to manufacturing (RTM).
