High-Performance AES-GCM/XTS Core with Integrated SCA/FI Protection
FortifyIQ’s AES-GCM/XTS IP core delivers high-throughput encryption and decryption with support for both AES-GCM (for data in motion) and AES-XTS (for data at rest) modes, making it ideal for unified secure storage and communication applications. Built on a pipelined architecture optimized for performance, the core supports AES-128/256 and enables seamless switching between modes. It integrates RAMBAM, FortifyIQ’s RTL-level protection scheme, offering robust resistance to side-channel and fault injection attacks. Designed for systems targeting FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria, this dual-mode core simplifies hardware design while delivering high speed, flexibility, and advanced physical security.

“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.”
