Overview

The Flash Protection Series is a suite of enhancements available for PUFcc and PUFrt, extending the Hardware Root of Trust to protect critical assets in the commodity flash. The Flash Protection Series can widen an SoC’s secure boundary based on our highly reliable PUF technology widely available across all major foundries.

Key features

  • PUFef is designed to protect embedded Flash with a Hardware Root of Trust and a lite crypto engine of RC6.
  • The RC6 provides a comprehensive level of security while also minimizing overall size.
  • Before attempting to hack the crypto engine, attackers would first have to destroy the embedded Flash.

Root of Trust: A Security Essential for Cyber Defense

Imagine a datacenter powering critical cloud services, silently compromised by a tampered chip inserted during manufacturing. In most cases, the malware would be practically impossible to remove and could persist across formats/reinstalls !

Why Hardware Root of Trust Needs Anti-Tampering Design

The hardware root of trust (HRoT) provides the trust base (root key), hardware identifier (UID), hardware unique key (HUK), and entropy required for the secure operation of the entire chip and therefore is often the focus of hacker attacks. If the design can’t effectively resist attacks, hackers can easily obtain the secrets of the entire chip. Attackers can use the secrets to crack identity authentication and data encryption and steal product design know-how, causing application security problems.
