Overview

The Helion Tiny Hash Core family for ASIC offers a combination of high functionality and low resource usage for lower data rate applications. The core is available in versions which support any combination of the secure hashing algorithms described in the Secure Hash Standard, FIPS PUB 180-3; namely SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512. It can also support the standard Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) algorithm described in FIPS PUB 198-1 which is widely used for data authentication and integrity checking in a number of common data security protocols.

As standard the core supports up to four concurrent hash calculations (or two HMAC calculations), and offers full core state unload and reload to greatly improve system throughput when processing interleaved or packet-based data streams. Simple synchronous interfaces ensure easy system integration whether employed as a hashing accelerator for an embedded processor, or connected directly into a datapath.

Key features

  • Implements one or more of SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 & SHA-512 secure hash algorithms defined in FIPS PUB 180-3
  • Supports Keyed Hashing for Message Authentication (HMAC) to FIPS 198-1
  • Performs full message padding according to FIPS PUB 180-3
  • Provides high functionality for low resource, low data rate applications
  • Runs up to four concurrent hashes each using different hash algorithms
  • Supports full state unload/reload to optimise hashing of interleaved data
  • All state stored in small single-ported RAM or Register file for efficiency

The Challenge of Automotive Hardware Security Deployment

A complete reinvention of the automotive industry is currently underway. Autonomous driving, connected vehicles, and the electrification of the powertrain all represent a once-in-a-generation shift in the manufacturing process.

Embracing a More Secure Era with TLS 1.3

TLS 1.3 offers attractive speed and security improvement benefits that are hard to ignore. The handshake phase was sped up by removing one or more roundtrips (back and forth messaging between client and server) in TLS 1.3 – with “or more” meaning that for certain cases, roundtrips can be entirely eliminated (0-RTT).

Standardized PUF-based Solution for Device eID

In this column, after a background introduction, we will first discuss IEEE 802.1AR standard on secure device identity. Next, we’ll assert PUF is an enabling solution for the device eID. Third, we will discuss PUF related international standards. Fourth, we will present a short tutorial on PUFiot. Fifth, we will assert that PUFiot is an ideal Device eID with wide applications. Finally, we will draw a conclusion on the future trend of Device eID development.

Implementing Ultra Low Latency Data Center Services with Programmable Logic

Data centers require many low-level network services to implement high-level applications. Key-Value Store (KVS) is a critical service that associates values with keys and allows machines to share these associations over a network. Most existing KVS systems run in software and scale out by running parallel processes on multiple microprocessor cores to increase throughput.

Security in vehicular systems

With the advent of IoT and increasingly interconnected and autonomous nature of a vehicle’s control modules, there has been an exponential increase in V2V, V2X and inter vehicular communications. This in turn increases the attack surface for hackers which demands state-of-art security features in modern automotive microcontrollers, moreover safety and security go hand in hand.
