Do I need ATECC608A in esp32 IoT device

If you are asking a question, please follow this template:

  1. My goal is: for secure remote access into an esp32 powered IoT device
  2. My actions are: to make connections fast and secure
  3. The result I see is: n/a
  4. My expectation & question is: trying to understand the value, or not, of designing in the ATECC608A device when the esp32 can secure its own flash. I’ve read the mongoose documents and still unclear what value designing in the crypto chip will provide.

Thank you
