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.
FortifyIQ’s High-Performance AES IP core is a low-latency cryptographic accelerator optimized for security-critical systems that demand maximum encryption throughput. Supporting AES-128 and AES-256 encryption and decryption in standard block cipher modes, such as ECB, CBC, and CTR (excluding GCM, XTS, and CBC-MAC), which is ideal for secure data storage, network encryption, real-time communications, and high-speed security appliances.
The core is architected around 20 parallel S-boxes, enabling high-throughput parallelism across AES rounds. Despite its speed-focused architecture, the core includes robust countermeasures against side-channel and fault injection attacks, powered by FortifyIQ’s RAMBAM protection scheme.
The core provides robust protection against physical attacks, incorporating FortifyIQ’s innovative RAMBAM protection scheme, a highly efficient algorithmic countermeasure framework designed to mitigate both side-channel analysis (SCA) and fault injection (FI) attacks. RAMBAM operates entirely at the RTL level, is implementation-agnostic, and introduces no dependency on physical design constraints, ensuring consistent security across ASIC and FPGA targets. A Common Criteria accredited laboratory has independently validated RAMBAM at the highest security assurance level.
Designed for FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria certification targets, the core delivers not only cryptographic standards compliance, but also a hardened foundation suitable for high-assurance applications. FortifyIQ’s High-Performance AES IP core delivers uncompromising encryption speed and certified physical security, making it the ideal choice for modern embedded systems that cannot afford to trade off performance for protection.
