Overview
Complex system-on-chip (SoC) requirements can include security at the MAC layer, VPN layer, and application layer. The SynopsysSecurity Protocol Accelerator (SPAcc) IP addresses these needs with support for the Wi-Fi, MACsec, IPsec, SSL/TLS/DTLS, and SRTP security standards. The SPAcc
IP offers high throughput with support for mixed packet size traffic and low latency to preserve quality of service in voice and video applications in single- and multi-core processor architectures. The product is a highly customer configurable enabling solution to be tuned for specific applications providing differentiation in the market.
The Synopsys SPAcc optionally includes the following cryptographic support:
• 3GPP/LTE/LTE-Advanced wireless security: ZUC, SNOW 3G and KASUMI algorithms
• Chinese security: SM3 and SM4 algorithms
• DPA/TA side channel countermeasures: for AES, SM4, DES/3DES algorithms

Over the next five years, all security protocols and public key cryptography will undergo a comprehensive overhaul to ensure quantum safety. This represents the most significant change in these domains since the advent of public key cryptography.
KiviCore´s blog post discusses Quantum-safe key exchange with NIST FIPS 203 ML-KEM and how IP cores simplify PQC integration on FPGA and SoCs.
In today’s connected world, where data is a crucial asset in SoCs, Part V of our series explores how to protect and encrypt data, whether at rest, in transit, or in use building on our earlier blog posts of the series: Essential security features for digital designers, key management, secure boot, and runtime integrity.
At Rambus, we often receive RFIs, RFPs and RFQs for security silicon IP cores to be used in our customer’s next semiconductor product. Such requests often contain a long shopping list of required cryptographic algorithms, their modes of operation, their key lengths or strengths and performance and sizing requirements.
Why MACsec is a compelling security solution for Deterministic Ethernet networks and how Packaged Intellectual Property solutions can accelerate time-to-market for chip developers
Satellite links are often considered inherently secure due to their distance and specialized infrastructure. In reality, this assumption no longer holds.
