RSA-ECC Public Key Accelerator Engine, 50K ops/sec

Overview

Rambus DPA Resistant PKEv2, PKEv3, PKEv4 Cryptographic Accelerator Cores prevent against the leakage of secret cryptographic key material through attacks when integrated into an SoC or FPGA.

The DPA Resistant Hardware cores offer chipmakers an easy-to-integrate technology-independent soft-macro security solution with built-in side-channel resistance for cryptographic functions across a wide array of devices.

These high-performance cores provide a higher level of protection than standard security cores, while improving time-to-market, as all the cores are validated DPA countermeasures.

Key Features

  • Quicken time-to-market using precertified DPA Countermeasures
  • Highly secure cryptographic engine primitives
  • Extensive validation using the Test Vector Leakage Assessment (TVLA) methodology (revealing no leakage beyond 100 million traces)
  • Cores protected against univariate first- and second-order side-channel attacks beyond 1 billion operations
  • DPARC cores are available for AES (128/256), 3DES, SHA-2 (224/256 or 224/256/384/512), HMAC-SHA-2 (224/256 or 224/256/384/512), RSA, ECDSA, and ECDH
  • Many cores are validated to FIPS 140-2 CAVP
  • Implements silicon proven and validated DPA countermeasures such as LMDPL (LUT-Masked Dual-rail with Pre-charge Logic) gate-level masking
  • Simple control/status interface
  • No routing constraints required
  • Delivers highest level of security with side-channel resistance prioritized
  • Also available as non-protected standard versions.
