Overview

Addressing the growing demand for readily available solutions that implement Differential Power Analysis (DPA) countermeasures, we developed a family of cryptographic cores and software libraries that are designed to protect against side-channel attacks. Our DPA Resistant Software Library incorporates many of the commonly used cryptographic algorithms. This library is validated to resist first- and second-order DPA attacks in over 1 million traces.

The DPA Resistant Software Library is easy to deploy in a security software stack, and is highly flexible for integration with standard cipher modes such as Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), Electronic Code Book (ECB), etc. It implements advanced DPA countermeasures against side-channel attacks providing robust DPA resistance.

Our DPA resistance-proven library is easy-to-integrate into the application stack, providing chipmakers with a seamless solution that enables them to devote resources to differentiating features and reduce implementation time.

Key features

  • Library implements a very high-security primitives for AES, ECC, RSA, and SHA
  • Supported platforms: ARM Cortex-A9, ARM7TDMI, and others
  • AES supports 128/192/256-bit encrypt and decrypt
  • ECC supports ECDSA/ECDH for NIST prime fields (192/256/384/521)
  • RSA supports signing and decryption at 1024/2048/4096/8192 bit lengths
  • Incorporates state-of-the-art DPA countermeasures such as shuffling, blinding, and masking

Benefits

  • DPA resistance-proven software libraries
  • Extensively validated against side-channel attacks
  • Highly flexible for integration with standard cipher modes such as CBC, ECB, etc.
  • Easy-to-integrate into application stack

Protecting FPGAs from power analysis security vulnerabilities

This article introduces static power analysis and dynamic power analysis attacks, discusses how these vulnerabilities apply to FPGAs, and provides guidance about the types of countermeasures that can be implemented to protect FPGAs against these attacks.

Evaluating the Side Channel Security of Post-Quantum Hardware IP

In this blog post, we demonstrate how we used the eShard evaluation suite to assess the security of PQShield’s ML-KEM IP against first-order side-channel attacks, one of the key steps to validate IP security. The main findings confirm the effectiveness of the implemented countermeasures against side-channel attacks in the IP.

Nine Compelling Reasons Why Menta eFPGA Is Essential for Achieving True Crypto Agility in Your ASIC or SoC

Today’s world is already overly complicated to provide robust product security, with extremely motivated hackers creating novel threats exposing new vulnerabilities every day. But considering tomorrow’s world with the looming threat of quantum computing, expanding AI possibilities and rapidly evolving regional regulations and export control risk with severe financial penalties, this is a daunting challenge.
