Hardware Security Module (HSM) for Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC platform

The HSM IP module is a Hardware Security Module for a wide range of applications. It is developed, validated and licensed by Secure-IC (partner of Xilinx) as an FPGA-based IP solution dedicated to the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC platform.

As the connectivity of industrial systems is growing, so is the need for data integrity and system authentication. A very important aspect of this embedded security is a hardware security module (HSM), a security enclave that provides secure key management and cryptographic processing.

This HSM IP module removes the need for a dedicated HSM device and it incorporates 2 solutions:

• The HSM hardware IP, to be implemented in programmable logic and ready to interface with the Zynq UltraScale+ processing system.
• A software stack containing the HSM firmware, HSM driver code and an interface layer allowing integration.

Configurable, scalable and flexible solution

The hardware security module can be scaled and configured to match any requirement, even for the most demanding applications. The size and performance of the solution can be adapted for a perfect application fit while leaving room in the FPGA for other critical applications.
