Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hardware encryption technology, specifically to a resistive hardware encryption circuit, which is suitable for various device locks that require low-cost, high-reliability encryption. Background Technology

[0002] Existing device encryption solutions are mainly divided into two categories: software encryption and hardware encryption. Software encryption is low-cost but easily cracked and lacks sufficient security; hardware encryption, such as fingerprint modules and RFID cards, offers higher security but suffers from high cost and complex operation. For example, a single fingerprint encryption module typically costs over 30 yuan and requires fingerprint recording and database maintenance, making it unsuitable for low-cost scenarios; traditional resistor encryption often uses single resistor verification, resulting in limited encryption combinations and low cracking difficulty, failing to meet security requirements. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hardware encryption solution that balances cost, security, and convenience. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Selection of the best implementation method:

[0032] Control Board: The first PCB substrate is made of FR-4 material, measuring 100mm*50mm and 1.6mm thick, ensuring structural stability and electrical performance. The main control chip U1 (model JZ8M2605_SOP20) is soldered onto the substrate to read voltage sampling values ​​and output control signals; the motor drive chip U2 (model TC118SS_SOP8) receives signals from the main control chip U1 to drive the motor; and the three-terminal voltage regulator chip U3 (model HT7533) converts the input voltage into a stable voltage to power the control board. In addition, the control board also solders preset resistors R3-R6 (1KΩ / 0805, accuracy ±1%), filter capacitors C1-C7 (surface mount type, filtering circuit noise), button K1 (6mm*6mm surface mount tactile switch, used for triggering pairing), motor connector (2PIN*2.54mm), battery connector (2.54mm), and magnetic female connector (POGOPIN type).

[0033] Decryption board: A second PCB substrate made of FR-4 material, measuring 50mm*30mm and 1.6mm thick, is compact and portable. Encryption resistors R7-R10 (1KΩ, 10KΩ, 100KΩ, and 1MΩ respectively, 0805 package, ±1% accuracy) are soldered onto the substrate to form multiple encryption combinations; at the same time, magnetic male connectors (POGOPIN type) that are compatible with the magnetic female connector of the control board are soldered on to achieve quick docking with the control board.

[0034] Magnetic connection assembly and power supply module: The magnetic connection assembly uses 5PIN*2.54mm POGOPIN male and female connectors. The male connector is soldered to the decryption board, and the female connector is soldered to the control board. Precise contact is achieved through magnetic force, ensuring a stable connection and convenient operation. The power supply module uses four AA dry batteries (total voltage 6V). The battery box has a plastic shell with reverse polarity protection to prevent damage to the circuitry.

[0035] Assembly steps of the best implementation method:

[0036] 1. Control Board Soldering: A step-by-step soldering process is adopted. First, the main control chip U1, motor drive chip U2, and three-terminal voltage regulator chip U3 are soldered using a hot air gun. The hot air gun temperature is set to 320-350℃ and the air speed is level 2 to avoid damaging the chips with high temperature. Then, the preset resistors R3-R6 and filter capacitors C1-C7 are soldered using a soldering iron. The soldering iron temperature is 300-320℃ to ensure that the polarity of the components is correct (the long lead of the capacitor is the positive terminal). Finally, the POGOPIN magnetic female connector, motor connector, battery connector, and button K1 are soldered. After soldering, all solder joints are checked to ensure that there are no cold solder joints, bridging, or false solder joints, and that the pins are not oxidized and detached.

[0037] 2. Decryption board soldering: First, solder the encryption resistors R7-R10 to the second PCB substrate according to the design position. The soldering requirements are the same as those for the control board. Then, solder the POGOPIN magnetic male connector, ensuring that the male connector pins are fully attached to the substrate pads. After soldering, clean the solder slag to ensure that the magnetic surface is flat and without protrusions.

[0038] 3. Overall Assembly: Correctly insert 4 AA dry batteries into the battery box (corresponding to the positive and negative markings to avoid reverse connection), and connect them to the control board through the battery connector; connect the external motor to the motor drive terminal of the control board through the 2-pin connector; hold the decryption board and align the POGOPIN magnetic male connector with the magnetic female connector of the control board, using the magnetic force to achieve a tight fit, ensuring that there is no looseness or poor contact after docking.

[0039] Functional testing and verification of the best implementation method:

[0040] 1. Pairing Operation: Press button K1 on the control board. At this time, pin 11 of the main control chip U1 outputs a high level (measured with a multimeter, the voltage is 3.3V±0.1V). Keep the button pressed and magnetically connect the decryption board to the control board. U1 begins to read the voltages V1-V4 of the circuit formed by the encryption resistors R7-R10 and the preset resistors R3-R6, and converts them into AD sampling values. Record the AD values ​​corresponding to V1-V4 at this time as follows: V1 (R7=1KΩ) AD value 102, V2 (R8=10KΩ) AD value 512, V3 (R9=100KΩ) AD value 922, V4 (R10=1MΩ) AD value 1023. U1 stores this set of AD values ​​in its internal storage module. After successful pairing, release button K1. The button will spring back, and pin 11 of U1 will return to a low level, completing the pairing.

[0041] 2. Unlock Test: Disconnect the magnetic connection between the decryption board and the control board, then realign the magnetic connection. U1 reads the current AD values ​​of V1-V4 in real time and compares them with the stored AD values ​​(allowing an error range of ±2, considering the accuracy of the adapter resistor and circuit noise). When the AD value deviation is within the allowable range, pin 12 of U1 outputs a high level (3.3V±0.1V). After receiving the signal, the motor driver chip U2 drives the motor to reverse, with a speed of approximately 500rpm. After 2 seconds, the motor stops, the device lock is successfully opened, and the unlock function is verified.

[0042] 3. Locking Test: With the decryption board disconnected in the unlocked state, U1 detects the POGOPIN magnetic disconnect signal. After a 3-second delay, pin 11 of U1 outputs a high level, and the motor driver chip U2 drives the motor to rotate forward at a speed of approximately 500 rpm. After 2 seconds, the motor stops, the device lock is closed, and the locking function is verified.

[0043] 4. Error verification: Replace the encryption resistor R7 on the decryption board with 2KΩ (keeping the other resistors unchanged), and reconnect it magnetically to the control board; U1 reads the AD value of V1 as 204, which deviates from the stored 102 by more than ±2. At this time, U1 does not output a high-level signal, the motor does not move, the device remains locked, and the encryption validity verification is passed.

[0044] A resistive hardware encryption circuit uses multiple resistor combinations as encryption keys, achieving up to 1024 encryption combinations. 4 This circuit design is far more difficult to crack than traditional single-resistor encryption schemes. Utilizing a POGOPIN magnetic connection, the operation requires only one step, significantly reducing steps and greatly improving convenience compared to digital password input or fingerprint enrollment. The total cost of all components is lower, far below that of fingerprint encryption modules, resulting in a 73% cost reduction. The circuit structure is simple to manufacture and assemble, making it widely applicable to various equipment and lock scenarios requiring low-cost, high-reliability encryption, such as smart locks, shared devices, and industrial control systems, demonstrating its high practicality.

[0045] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of this utility model should still fall within the scope of this patent.
