Cryptography support
is a must for everyone
today – and especially so
in the professional world.
Microcontroller support for
cryptographic protocols is
often limited, or omits some
checks because of the
limited processing power
and RAM available. The
addition of a crypto chip
makes the MKR boards
particularly suited to
IoT devices.
The stand-out feature
of the MKR line is their
ability to interface with
almost any network, so if
you’re interfacing with a
legacy network or looking
to take advantage of the
latest long-range wireless
technology, they’re a
particularly great option.
