High-Security SHA-2/HMAC Core with Zero Side-Channel Leakage Guarantee
FortifyIQ’s High-Security SHA-2/HMAC IP core is engineered for applications where security is paramount, delivering mathematically proven zero side-channel leakage across all supported functions: SHA-2-224, 256, 384, 512, and their corresponding HMAC modes. Designed for use in high-assurance systems, this core prioritizes protection over raw performance, accepting moderate throughput and increased silicon area to achieve the highest level of resistance against physical attacks. Built entirely at the RTL level with formal leakage proofs, it is ideal for certification-driven applications targeting Common Criteria at the highest AVA_VAN levels and FIPS 140-3 Level 3 and beyond. As with all FortifyIQ products, the design remains layout-agnostic and integration-friendly.

“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.”
