Overview
Compact and Secure ECC IP Core for Resource-Constrained Devices
Resource-constrained devices often lack the area and power budget for secure elliptic curve operations, yet face serious risk from physical attacks like side-channel analysis and fault injections. FortifyIQ’s FIQ-PKA01C addresses this challenge with a compact, energy-efficient ECC IP core designed for secure SoC integration. Supporting algorithms such as ECDH, ECDSA, EdDSA, and including multi-layered SCA/FIA protections, it offers robust, security-certifiable cryptography with minimal performance degradation. The IP is engineered to meet or exceed rigorous security certification standards across all levels of FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria.
