Crypto Accelerator and Random Number Generator IP
SCA Resistant Crypto Accelerator IP
When integrated into an SoC, the Rambus Side Channel Attack (SCA) Resistant hardware cores offer DPA resistance to prevent the leakage of secret cryptographic key material through attacks. In addition, the cores with Fault Injection Attack (FIA) resistance options offer protection against faults induced by laser or EM probing, voltage and or clock glitching. These superior performance cores are easy to integrate into SoCs and FPGAs, providing robust side-channel resistance across different security and performance levels.

Lightweight Cryptography: An Introduction
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced on February 7, 2023, that it had selected the ASCON algorithm to become the standard for Lightweight Cryptography. In this whitepaper, we will explore what lightweight cryptography is and why it is worth considering for specific Internet of Things (IoT) use cases.
