AES Encryption Core with Extreme SCA Protection for Ultra-High-Security Applications
FortifyIQ’s Ultra-Secure AES IP core is designed for applications where maximum resistance to side-channel attacks (SCA) is paramount, even beyond certification-grade requirements. Supporting AES-128/256 encryption in ECB, CBC, CTR, GCM, and XTS modes, the core is built for environments where redundancy in protection is a feature, not a cost. Featuring a deeply fortified architecture with multi-layered, overlapping SCA countermeasures, this silicon-proven core leverages the most advanced generation of FortifyIQ’s RAMBAM protection, enhanced for leakage elimination across power, timing, EM, and glitches. Ideal for military, critical infrastructure, or top-tier secure elements, the core is engineered to meet and exceed the security standards of FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria, and beyond.
FortifyIQ’s Ultra-Secure AES IP core is a silicon-proven, high-assurance hardware accelerator designed specifically for applications demanding the utmost resilience against side-channel analysis (SCA) and fault injection (FI) attacks. Supporting AES-128 and AES-256 encryption across multiple modes, including ECB, CBC, CTR, GCM, and XTS, this core is engineered for environments where security cannot be compromised, such as military-grade secure elements, critical infrastructure cryptographic modules, and advanced secure microcontrollers.
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. It 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. RAMBAM has been independently validated by a Common Criteria accredited laboratory at the highest security assurance level.
This core represents the pinnacle of AES encryption security, combining extreme side-channel attack resistance with robust fault injection countermeasures and high configurability, ensuring trust and longevity for the most sensitive embedded systems.
