Overview

The Synopsys Secure Storage Solution for OTP is an add-on to Synopsys One-Time Programmable (OTP) Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) IP. It addresses the need for secure storage of sensitive information in embedded NVM SoCs across markets such as AI, HPC, IoT, Automotive, and Aerospace & Defense. By combining Synopsys OTP NVM IP, Synopsys SRAM PUF technology, and an industry-standard cryptographic engine, it delivers robust, hardware-based security for sensitive data, code, and keys. The SRAM PUF generates a device-specific root key at power-up, which is never stored on-chip and is used to derive keys for encrypting data stored in the OTP and scrambling addresses. This layered defense provides strong protection against attacks, keeping critical secrets secure—even if hardware is accessed directly.

The Synopsys Secure Storage Solution for OTP integrates seamlessly into SoC designs, offering flexible configuration, system-level security, and automated provisioning. It supports functions such as secure storage of keys, data, and code; ROM patching; device identification; anti-counterfeiting; and anti-rollback protection.

Key features

  • OTP and Encryption Security: Address scrambling and AES encryption with SRAM PUF keys deliver secure storage for sensitive data in OTP.
  • System-Level Security Extension: Optional add-on allows SRAM PUF sharing with OTP, safeguarding chip-level assets and enabling advanced key management and secure ID generation.
  • Flexibility and Scalability: Configure secure regions within OTP to tailor protection levels, meeting diverse design requirements.
  • Easy Integration: Standard APB interface ensures quick, seamless incorporation into various SoC architectures for faster development. 
  • Simple Software API: Internal management of security operations requires only basic read/write commands, eliminating the need for complex drivers or libraries.
  • Automatic Provisioning and Initialization: Key generation and security features are automatically initialized at power-up or reset, reducing manual intervention and deployment risk.
  • Short Time-to-Market: Fully integrated, out-of-the-box solution cuts development and integration time, enabling rapid implementation of secure SoC designs.
