FORTICRYPT SIDE-CHANNEL AND FAULT INJECTION ATTACK PROTECTED ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE AES XTS ENGINE

The AES XTS Engine for FPGA, IC, ASIC, and SoC applications is designed to provide ultra-high performance (50-200 Gbps) along with exceptional protection against Side-Channel and Fault Injection attacks

The FortifyIQ AES XTS Engine is designed to provide ultra-high performance (up to 200 Gbps) along with the strongest protection against side-channel and fault injection attacks in the market. The FortifyIQ AES Core is the main building block of the engine.

The Core is resistant to DPA (Differential Power Analysis), SPA (Simple Power Analysis), EMEA (Electromagnetic Emissions Attacks), and FIA (Fault Injection Attacks).

The Core passes both the TVLA (Test Vector Leakage Assessment) and the MIA (Mutual Information Analysis) – Leakage Assessment methodologies.

Its resistance against attacks and compliance to the Leakage Assessment methodologies above is proven by theoretical investigation, software simulations using the FortifyIQ analysis toolset (SideChannel Studio for SCA and FaultInjection Studio for FIA), and FPGA implementations.

Fortify’s AES security evaluation by SGS

“Summary. The leakage analysis (Welch t-test) on over 30 million traces did not show statistically significant first- and second-order differences between trace sets with fixed and random inputs. The template-based DPA analysis, on the pseudo-random trace set for the profiling phase (15 million traces) and on a sub-set of 300k fix input traces for matching phase targeting the first-round S-box output, and template attack on ciphertext, did not indicate any potential information leakage.”

” The results for the soft IP presented in the report were obtained on the TOE which is the basic hardware implementation of the soft IP without additional levels of security (e.g. that are present in a secure silicon layout). Therefore the internal strength of the soft IP itself was evaluated. This indicates that the investigated features and parameters of the soft IP implementation should be robust against SCA and fault injection attacks in different implementations including ASIC. Nevertheless, according to the Common Criteria rules, the strength of the final composite product must be evaluated on its own.”
