High-Speed Versatile Core for SHA-3-224/256/384/512 and (c)SHAKE-128/256

XIP3030H is a high-speed IP core designed for versatile support of all variants of the SHA-3 hash function and related extendable-output function SHAKE as well as the SHA-3 derived function cSHAKE and its variants KMAC, TupleHash and ParallelHash (including their arbitrary-length out put variants). SHA-3 and SHAKE are defined in the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) standard FIPS PUB 202 [1] and cSHAKE, KMAC, TupleHash and ParallelHash are spec ified in NIST Special Publication 800-185 [2]. Because of the versatile algorithm support, XIP3030H can be used in various applications that require SHA-3 hashing or other supported SHA-3 based functionalities. XIP3030H is optimized for maximum speed and is optimal for applications that re quire high-speed hashing. SHA-3 plays a central role also in post-quantum cryptography schemes. The design is device-agnostic and fully compliant with various FPGA platforms. XIP3030H offers high level of implementation security and is fully protected against timing attacks as its execution time does not depend on the values of the inputs. The interface of XIP3030H is pin-wise compatible with XIP3030C, the compact versatile SHA-3 core with the same functionalities. The only differences are in performance (latency) and resource requirements.

XIP3030H has been designed for easy integration with FPGA- and ASIC-based designs in a vendor-agnostic design methodology, and the functionality of XIP3030H does not rely on any FPGA manufacturer-specific features.
