Overview
SCA/FI-Protected RSA Accelerator
FortifyIQ’s RSA Accelerator delivers high-performance modular exponentiation for RSA-based public key cryptography, while incorporating advanced protections against side-channel analysis (SCA) and fault injection (FI) attacks. Optimized for secure key generation, encryption, decryption, and digital signature operations, the core ensures robust cryptographic processing without compromising efficiency.
The design integrates lightweight yet highly effective physical attack countermeasures at the RTL level, making the accelerator suitable for both certification-driven applications and security-critical environments. Supporting variable key lengths up to 4096 bits, it provides scalability for a broad spectrum of use cases, from embedded systems to enterprise-grade secure communications.
Compliant with FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria requirements across all levels, the FortifyIQ RSA Accelerator balances strong security with performance, offering a trusted foundation for secure boot, key management, and authentication in modern hardware platforms.
