ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature) IP Core
The ECDSA IP is specifically designed for elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) using the ANSI X9.63 secp256k1 Koblitz curve.
Overview
The ECDSA IP is specifically designed for elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) using the ANSI X9.63 secp256k1 Koblitz curve.
This cutting-edge ECDSA IP provides superior security by ensuring execution time remains independent of the secret value, thereby mitigating timing-based side channel attacks.
With its internal data memory block interface, the ECDSA IP simplifies programming and execution, making it the ideal solution for your cryptographic needs.
Function
Main Building Blocks:
- Input Data Memory Interface
- Output Data Register Bank
- Program and Constant ROMs
- CoProcessor (with the Register Banks)
Experience seamless data exchange with our advanced ECDSA IP.
By reading from external memory and writing results to a dual output register bank, our ECDSA IP efficiently performs ECC computations based on the hardwired program in the program ROM.
This ensures optimal performance and reliability for your cryptographic needs.
Functions available
- gfp_keygen
- gfp_sign_genius
- pkeyutl
- dgst_sha256_sign
