Overview

The PRNG1 core implements a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator per NIST publication SP800-90.

Basic core is small (6,500 gates) and uses an external 256-bit entropy seed to generate 16 bytes (128 bits) of random data at a time (128 bits of security strength). Versions of the core are available supporting higher security strengths (192 and 256 bits), larger amounts of generated bits (up to 219), and different internal datapath widths for size/performance tradeoff. The core includes the AES1 core.

The design is fully synchronous and available in both source and netlist form. Test bench uses vectors in plain text format.

PRNG1 core is supplied as portable Verilog (VHDL version available) thus allowing customers to carry out an internal code review to ensure its security.

The Silent Guardian of AI Compute - PUFrt Unifies Hardware Security and Memory Repair to Build the Trust Foundation for AI Factories

At the scale of the Vera Rubin platform, yield, calibration, and security failures compound across tens of thousands of devices. A single unified hardware anchor at the silicon level is not optional, it is architectural necessity. A physical unclonable function-based hardware root-of-trust, PUFrt, jointly developed by eMemory and PUFsecurity, was designed precisely for this role: a fully integrated implementation of the Caliptra 2.0 open standard that simultaneously manages cross-die memory repair and hardware root of trust across the full platform.

A Comprehensive Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Solution based on Physical Unclonable Function (PUF)

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the specific PPA challenges introduced by PQC and elucidates how PUF-PQC leverages its unique dualtrack strategy to deliver a robust and flexible Hardware Root of Trust (HRoT) across diverse application scenarios. Furthermore, it demonstrates the integration of Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) with a NIST SP 800-90B compliant True Random Number Generator (TRNG) to serve as critical components of PUFrt (Root of Trust), ensuring the security of post-quantum key generation starting from the entropy source.
