Contact Provider Request Datasheet

Overview

The EIP-154 PKI Farm engine, offers autonoumus processing of Public Key Operations. Due to its scalable architecture, it provides high-performance acceleration of Public Key operations and for power-conscious applications, it can be controlled to reduce its power consumption as utilization is lowered. The Integrated PKA Farm Engine is a FIPS 140-2 compliant Public Key Accelerator operating as a co-processor to offload the Host processor.

Key features

  • High-performance accelerator for Public Key operations, up to 4160-bit modulus size for modular exponentiations and 768-bit modulus for ECC operations
  • Performs high-level key negotiate & sign/verify operations
  • Synthesizable over 550 MHz in 40nm technologies and over 650 MHz in 28nm technologies
  • Up to sixteen independent command/result queues
  • High-Assurance mode with secure boot and protected RAM
  • Firmware protection bits and fault detection circuitry
  • ECC/SECDED support option for selected memories
  • Optional Black Private Key decrypt using AES
  • Optional high-performance True Random Number Generator for local (and secure) key and signature seed value generation
  • Two different performance options are available: one with 10 PKA Farm Engines (highest performance) and one with 2 PKA Farm Engines.
  • The highest performance option uses approximately 1M gates, the 2 Farm Engine configurations uses approximately 350k gates (technology dependent).
  • 8K-bit large vector support options

Bringing IPsec into the Quantum Safe Era

Over the next five years, all security protocols and public key cryptography will undergo a comprehensive overhaul to ensure quantum safety. This represents the most significant change in these domains since the advent of public key cryptography.

Google, Quantum Attacks, and ECDSA: Why There’s No Need to Panic and Why Preparation Matters Now

Over the past several weeks, we’ve seen growing discussion across the industry about Google’s latest publications on quantum computing and cryptography. In some corners, those discussions have quickly escalated into claims that widely deployed elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), including ECDSA, is on the verge of collapse. Customers are understandably asking questions: Has ECDSA been broken? Are today’s systems suddenly at risk? Do migration timelines need to change?

Side-Channel Attacks On Post-Quantum Cryptography

Device security requires designers to secure their algorithms, not only against direct attacks on the input and output, but also against side-channel attacks. This requirement is especially notable for cryptographic algorithms, since they have a regular, well-understood structure, and the secrets they process often give access to much more information.
