FIQ-AES03F AES-SX Secure Core

High-Throughput AES Core with Advanced SCA/FI Protection for Performance-Critical Systems

FortifyIQ’s High-Performance AES IP core is a fast, silicon-proven cryptographic engine designed for systems with demanding encryption workloads. Built on a 20 S-box parallel architecture, it delivers exceptional AES-128/256 encryption and decryption throughput while supporting standard modes including ECB, CBC, and CTR (excluding GCM, XTS, and CBC-MAC). Integrated RAMBAM-based protections provide robust resistance against side-channel and fault injection attacks, applied algorithmically at the RTL level and validated by a Common Criteria accredited lab. Engineered for security-critical applications like secure networking, high-end embedded platforms, and storage encryption, the core is fully certifiable under FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria.

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.”
