Enables easy-to-integrate countermeasures as
further deterrent to side-channel attacks
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS), today announced that its Cryptography
Research division has introduced a family of differential power
analysis (DPA) resistant cryptographic cores. As part of Rambus’
overall IP cores program, these ready-to-use IP cores offer
chipmakers an easy-to-integrate security solution with built-in
side channel resistance for cryptographic functions across a wide
range of connected devices. Leading with high-performance AES
cryptographic cores, these DPA resistant solutions provide SoC
manufacturers with a seamless solution that enables them to devote
resources to differentiating features and reduce implementation
time.
“Instances of data theft are increasing at an alarming rate,”
said Dr. Simon Blake-Wilson, vice president of Products and
Marketing of the Rambus Cryptography Research division. “These
threats highlight the vulnerability of valuable and sensitive data
in all of our connected devices. By enhancing today’s standard
cryptographic cores with robust DPA resistance, we ensure our
customers have a higher level of protection with validated
solutions.”
DPA attacks use variations in the electrical power consumption
or RF emissions of a targeted device to derive secret keys from
crypto algorithms. Many industries, including payments, content
protection and defense, now require that chipsets include
protection against DPA attacks. By packaging DPA countermeasures
into cryptographic IP cores, robust DPA resistance can now be
easily integrated into SoCs using hardware cores or software
libraries. These solutions provide flexible side-channel resistance
validated to different security and performance levels based on
product requirements.
As one of the most widely used encryption algorithms for both
commercial and government applications, the initial offering
includes both 128- and 256-bit AES cryptographic cores. The product
roadmap includes a full suite of solutions across all standard
algorithms, such as 3DES, ECC, SHA, and government-recommended
Suite B. These cores are validated to resist first- and
second-order DPA attacks up to 10 million traces and can be
optimized for size, speed, and security level, based on customer
requirements.
Having discovered side-channel attacks, Cryptography Research
scientists have developed a comprehensive portfolio of
application-specific hardware core and software library solutions
that chipmakers can use to build DPA resistant products. These DPA
resistant solutions can be integrated into a wide range of SoCs,
including power-sensitive mobile applications, highly secure
anti-tampering and performance-driven multi-core processors. These
cores and libraries are accompanied by a variety of tools, such as
the DPA Workstation™, as well as services and system IP to help
chipmakers improve system margins, reduce cost, focus on product
differentiation and speed time-to-market.
