Implementing Security Using PIC32CZ CA90 MCUs
The PIC32CZ CA90 family offers an embedded HSM for developing secure applications. To activate this HSM, you must execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for our MPLAB® Harmony Plus Security Solutions. The diagram below illustrates the process we will use to deliver the necessary information and resources to you after the NDA has been executed.
*The HSM data sheet is only needed for developing the HSM firmware.
The PIC32CZ CA90’s HSM hardware and functionality are abstracted by MPLAB Harmony Crypto v4 as shown in this image.

Microchip Bootloaders
Bootloaders are used to upgrade firmware on a target device without using an external programmer or debugger. Commonly used with microcontrollers (MCUs), a bootloader contains code that loads and executes an application program. Bootloaders can also perform additional tasks such as validating the code integrity and authenticity.
