Cryptographic Cores IP

Lightweight, Scalable Cryptographic Accelerators for Secure SoC Designs

The Cryptographic Cores IP portfolio delivers secure, high-performance implementations of symmetric, asymmetric, and post-quantum algorithms. Designed for low-area, low-latency operation, the silicon-proven cores help SoC designers and embedded teams build trusted, efficient devices for IoT, automotive, medical, and industrial markets.

AES Encryption

Supports 128-, 192-, and 256-bit keys with ECB, CBC, GCM, OFB, and CTR modes. Configurable for optimal performance/power trade-offs.

Ascon for Lightweight Use Cases

Authenticated encryption and hashing based on the NIST SP800-232 finalist. Compact and efficient, ideal for small-footprint devices.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)

Implements ECDSA and ECDH for secure identity, authentication, and encryption, optimized for embedded systems.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)

Hardware acceleration for ML-KEM (Kyber), ML-DSA (Dilithium), and SLH-DSA (SPHINCS+) — ready for emerging quantum-safe mandates.

Secure Hashing

SHA-2 and SHA-3 cores with integrated countermeasures provide fast, secure integrity and signature verification.
