You'll wire it to an ESP32, configure mutual TLS authentication, and build a prototype that proves identity without exposing secrets. Whether you're designing a secure sensor node for a campus IoT network or hardening a Smart India Hackathon prototype, this project gives you real-world, hardened cryptography in a single afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will create a compact, OLED-equipped device that uses the ATECC608A to generate and protect an ECC private key. The ESP32 handles the full TLS handshake with this key, establishing mutual authentication with a cloud or local server. The OLED displays connection status and device identity, demonstrating a complete root of trust in hardware - no key ever appears in code or serial output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConfiguring the ATECC608A for ECC key generation, storage, and signing operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImplementing mutual TLS on an ESP32 using the WolfSSL library with hardware-accelerated ECDSA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSecurely provisioning cryptographic keys in a zero-touch, factory-friendly flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDebugging TLS handshakes and certificate chains with hardware-backed private keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eESP32 Dev Board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eATECC608A Module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.96in OLED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.7k?
