High-Performance AES Encryption/Decryption Core with Advanced SCA/FI Protection
FortifyIQ’s High-Performance AES IP core delivers fast, secure AES-128/256 encryption and decryption for systems requiring high throughput and certified physical attack resistance. Based on a 20 S-box parallel architecture, the core supports ECB, CBC, and CTR modes (excluding GCM, XTS, and CBC-MAC), offering low-latency processing for both data-at-rest and data-in-motion applications. Integrated RAMBAM-based side-channel and fault injection countermeasures are implemented algorithmically at the RTL level and validated by a Common Criteria accredited lab. Silicon-proven and engineered for compliance with FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria, this core is ideal for performance-sensitive secure networking, storage, and embedded computing platforms.
FortifyIQ’s High-Performance AES IP core is a silicon-proven, low-latency cryptographic accelerator designed for systems that require rapid, secure encryption and decryption of data using AES-128 and AES-256. Supporting both directions across standard block cipher modes, such as ECB, CBC, and CTR (excluding GCM, XTS, and CBC-MAC).Its IP core delivers high throughput for data-at-rest and in-transit protection in secure storage, networking, and compute environments.
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.
