Open-source solutions like OpenTitan and Caliptra provide robust security features but often fall short in applications demanding minimal silicon area and ultra-low power consumption. The Root of Trust (RoT) overcomes these challenges with an innovative design that prioritizes compactness, efficiency, and unparalleled protections against Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) and Fault Injection Attacks (FIA).
Root of Trust (RoT)
Overview
Key Features
- Large Silicon Footprint: Open-source RoTs typically require significant silicon area, making them impractical for size-constrained devices.
- High Energy Consumption: Existing solutions often consume excessive power, limiting their adoption in low-power environments like IoT devices.
- Lack of Future-Proofing: Emerging security demands, such as Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), are frequently overlooked by current designs.
Benefits
- Optimized Design: A compact and power-efficient RoT, ideal for resource-constrained devices and advanced IoT applications.
- Advanced Protection: Features integrated, state-of-the-art countermeasures against SCA and FIA, ensuring robust physical security.
- Future-Proof Cryptography: Incorporates upcoming PQC algorithms, including Crystals-Kyber and Crystals-Dilithium, for resilience against quantum-era threats.
- Seamless Integration: Enhances open-source platforms like OpenTitan and Caliptra with unique physical attack protections and improved efficiency.
