Overview

The EIP-63, high speed AES-GCM engine is a scalable high-performance, multi-channel cryptographic engine that offers AES-GCM operations as well as AES-CTR and GMAC on bulk data. Its flexible data path is suitable to scale from 100Gbps to 1.6Tbps to provide a tailored engine with minimal area for your application. The FIFO-like data interface makes it possible to perform frame processing for many different protocols, including MACsec, IPsec, OTN security. The multi-channel architecture makes it possible to alternate data processing for different channels or tunnels simultaneously. Block switching can be done with a granularity of a single clock cycle.
For AES-GCM H-key calculation, INSIDE Secure offers the EIP-36 AES-core IP with a 32-bit register interface. Alternatively, the H-key is calculated by the software.

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?
