Overview

XIP3322B is a versatile Intellectual Property (IP) core designed for SHA-256 cryptographic hash function with extended support for HMAC message authentication code and HKDF key derivation function that are based on using SHA-256. SHA-256 is one of the most commonly used hash functions and is used in numerous cryptographic applications. XIP3322B offers a good balance between performance and resource requirements.

XIP3322B has been designed for easy integration with FPGA- and ASIC-based designs in a vendor-agnostic design methodology, and the functionality of XIP3322B does not rely on any FPGA manufacturer-specific features.

XIP3322B has also been successfully validated in the CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) by NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology).

Key features

  • Versatility: XIP3322B supports the widely used cryptographic hash function SHA-256. It also has native support for commonly used message authentication code (HMAC) based on SHA-256 and key derivation function (HKDF) based on HMAC. This allows using XIP3322B for multiple cryptographic functions —for example, TLS 1.3 —more easily and efficiently than an IP core that supports only SHA-256.
  • Constant Latency: The execution time of XIP3322B is independent of the message and key values (apart from message length), and consequently provides protection against timing-based side-channel attacks.
  • Performance: XIP3322B provide has high performance and reaches hashing speeds of several hundreds of Mbps.
  • Compact Size: XIP3322B has compact size (for example, approximately 1800 ALMs and a three memory blocks in Intel ® Cyclone ® V family) permitting integration into resource constrained FPGA designs.
  • Standard Compliance: XIP3322B is compliant with NIST FIPS 180-4 Secure Hash Standard (SHS), FIPS 198-1 The Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code HMAC), and RFC 5869 HMAC-based Extract-and-Expand Key Derivation Function (HKDF). Consequently, XIP3322B can be used in multiple cryptographic applications.

The Challenge of Automotive Hardware Security Deployment

A complete reinvention of the automotive industry is currently underway. Autonomous driving, connected vehicles, and the electrification of the powertrain all represent a once-in-a-generation shift in the manufacturing process.

Embracing a More Secure Era with TLS 1.3

TLS 1.3 offers attractive speed and security improvement benefits that are hard to ignore. The handshake phase was sped up by removing one or more roundtrips (back and forth messaging between client and server) in TLS 1.3 – with “or more” meaning that for certain cases, roundtrips can be entirely eliminated (0-RTT).

Standardized PUF-based Solution for Device eID

In this column, after a background introduction, we will first discuss IEEE 802.1AR standard on secure device identity. Next, we’ll assert PUF is an enabling solution for the device eID. Third, we will discuss PUF related international standards. Fourth, we will present a short tutorial on PUFiot. Fifth, we will assert that PUFiot is an ideal Device eID with wide applications. Finally, we will draw a conclusion on the future trend of Device eID development.

Implementing Ultra Low Latency Data Center Services with Programmable Logic

Data centers require many low-level network services to implement high-level applications. Key-Value Store (KVS) is a critical service that associates values with keys and allows machines to share these associations over a network. Most existing KVS systems run in software and scale out by running parallel processes on multiple microprocessor cores to increase throughput.

Security in vehicular systems

With the advent of IoT and increasingly interconnected and autonomous nature of a vehicle’s control modules, there has been an exponential increase in V2V, V2X and inter vehicular communications. This in turn increases the attack surface for hackers which demands state-of-art security features in modern automotive microcontrollers, moreover safety and security go hand in hand.
