Overview

eSi-ECC is a hardware acceleration core for Elliptic Curve (EC) modular arithmetic operations, which are commonly performed within EC cryptographic protocols; defined in IEEE1363 and other cryptographic standards. These include the EC Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), EC Deffie-Hellman (ECDH) and variations of these protocols.

Key features

  • Supports any EC over GF(p) of the simplified Weierstrass form that is commonly defined in ECC standards such as NIST, SEC2, Brainpool;
  • Supported arithmetic operations: EC Scalar Multiplication (ECSM), EC Addition (ECA), EC Doubling (ECD), Modular Addition (MA), Modular Subtraction (MS), Modular Multiplication (MM), Modular Division (MD), Modular Inversion (MI).
  • Supports any key size up to the maximum specified in the pre-synthesis stage;
  • Resistant against both Simple and Statistical Timing side channel Attacks (STA), and Simple Power Analysis (SPA) attacks. Optional support for resistance against Differential Power Analysis (DPA) and Doubling Attacks (DA);
  • Selection between a ‘small’ and ‘medium’ gate count architectures depending on the processing latency requirements of the application;
  • No RAM/ROM blocks used;
  • APB interface for loading curve parameters and private key, and unloading the ECSM result.

Smart Engine for Public Key cryptography

This white paper explains why and how the Smart Engine is ideally applied to Public Key cryptography. It provides more details about the architecture as Baco Silex has implemented it in the BA414E Public Key Crypto Engine

Formally verifying AVX2 rejection sampling for ML-KEM

Formal verification of cryptography comes in many flavours. The levels of abstraction range from high-level protocol designs to machine-level implementations. At each level of abstraction, different target properties and formal verification technologies apply. In this post we look at the latter end of this spectrum and consider a highly-optimized architecture-specific implementation of a core routine of the recent NIST post-quantum standard FIPS-203: Module-Lattice-Based Key Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM)
