I am looking for hardware TOTP system-on-chip, where it would not be possible for an adversary to extract the shared secret (TOTP seed in other words). I am researching an application, where one same seed has to be used in large number of hardware tokens for a long time.

The closest I could find is a chip for biometric passport, where there is a secret key burnt at manufacturing stage, so that it is not extractable yet used internally for signing or decryption - see "chip authentication" at https://www.readid.com/blog/cloning-detection-epassports.

Accordingly, I am looking for similar security level but different function (reliably hiding totp seed as opposed to identity). Could you please point me out to the right direction?

    Use Secure Element chip to store the seed. This is what TOTP apps like Google authenticator do in Google Pixel.
