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.
Embedded Flash Protection with Hardware Root of Trust and Lite Crypto Engine
Overview
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.
