Overview
High-performance ECC IP with advanced physical security
In performance-sensitive systems where speed and responsiveness are critical, but area and power constraints are less extreme, FortifyIQ’s FIQ-PKA02B delivers high-throughput elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) with robust protection against physical attacks. Designed for fast and secure SoC integration, the FIQ-PKA02B supports ECDH, ECDSA, and EdDSA operations with low latency and optimized performance per watt. It incorporates FortifyIQ’s advanced multi-layered countermeasures against side-channel analysis (SCA) and fault injection attacks (FIA), ensuring strong security even under active physical threat models. The IP is engineered to meet or exceed rigorous security certification standards across all levels of FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria.
