# Tillitis Key 1
|
||
|
||
## Introduction
|
||
|
||
Tillitis Key 1 is a new kind of USB security token. All of its
|
||
software, FPGA logic, schematics, and PCB layout are open source, as
|
||
all security software and hardware should be. This in itself makes it
|
||
different, as other security tokens utilize closed source hardware for
|
||
its security-critical operations.
|
||
|
||
What makes the Tillitis Key 1 security token unique is that it doesn’t
|
||
verify applications, it measures them (hashes a digest over the
|
||
binary), before running them on its open hardware security processor.
|
||
|
||
Each security token contains a Unique Device Secret (UDS), which
|
||
together with an application measurement, and an optional
|
||
user-provided seed, is used to derive key material unique to each
|
||
application. This allows users to build and load their own apps, while
|
||
ensuring that each app loaded will have its own cryptographic
|
||
identity. The design is similar to TCG DICE. The Tillitis Key 1
|
||
platform has 128 KB of RAM. The current firmware design allows for
|
||
applications up to 64 KB with a 64 KB stack.

Note that development is ongoing. For example, changes might be made
|
||
to the measuring and derivation of key material, causing the
|
||
public/private keys of a signer app to change. To avoid unexpected
|
||
changes, please use a tagged release. Read the [Release
|
||
Notes](doc/release_notes.md) to keep up to date with changes and new
|
||
releases.
