| Updated application note AN060 - Security on TI IEEE 802.15.4 Compliant RF Devices |
| AN060 has been updated to also address CC2530. This application note introduces IEEE 802.15.4 security and gives practical examples using Texas Instruments’ family of IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF chipsets; the CC2420, CC2430, CC2520 and CC2530. The application note is accompanied by a software example which implements a secure point to point link between two IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF nodes, using MAC Data frames. |
