Vendor: Xiphera Ltd Category: Random Number Generator

Pseudo Random Number Generator, balanced version (AES256_CTR_DRBG)

XIP8103B from Xiphera is a Pseudorandom Number Generator (PRNG) Intellectual Property (IP) core.

Overview

XIP8103B from Xiphera is a Pseudorandom Number Generator (PRNG) Intellectual Property (IP) core. XIP8103B is based on Counter (CTR) operation mode of a 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and uses an AES-CTR implementation as an integral building block.

XIP8103B has been designed for easy integration with FPGA- and ASIC-based designs in a vendor-agnostic design methodology, and the functionality of XIP8103B does not rely on any FPGA manufacturer-specific features.

XIP8103B has also been successfully validated in the CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) by NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology).

Key features

  • Balanced Between Speed and Resource Requirements: XIP8103B can achieve over 2 Gbps throughput, while consuming only about 4000 Lookup Tables (LUTs) in a typical FPGA implementation.
  • Versatility: XIP8103B supports the forward prediction resistance mode, which can be set on and off between output generation, as well as the use of personalization strings and additional inputs for instantiation and reseeding.
  • Standard Compliance: XIP8103B is compliant with the NIST SP800-90A specification.
  • XIP8103B can be combined with Xiphera’s NIST SP800-90Bcompliant XIP8001B to form a NIST SP800-90C compliant Random Bit Generator (RBG).
  • Easy integration with AXI4-lite and AXI stream interfaces.

Benefits

  • Fully digital design
  • Portable to any ASIC or FPGA technology
  • Fully standard compliant
  • Easy to integrate
  • Several bus interfaces available
  • IP core designed in-house at Xiphera
  • Technical support by the original designers and cryptographic experts

Applications

  • The main functionality of XIP8103B is to produce pseudorandom numbers. Pseudorandom numbers are numbers which look completely random but which are generated deterministically from a seed If the PRNG is properly seeded with a full-entropy seed (like XIP8001B TRNG) its outputs provide as much randomness, or security, as the seed it was seeded with.

Why Hardware Root of Trust Matters

Trust is the foundation of any secure computing system, but that trust has to start somewhere. This article explores the role of a Hardware Root of Trust, why that starting point must be built into hardware, and why it matters more than ever as device lifecycles grow longer, the EU Cyber Resilience Act introduces new security requirements, and the transition to quantum-resistant cryptography moves forward.

Xiphera Achieves ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Certification

Xiphera has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, the internationally recognised standard for information security management, following an independent audit conducted by Into Certification Oy, an accredited certification body and subsidiary of Into Security Oy.
