Protecting Quantum Era Cryptography. Today.
High-Performance SHA-2/HMAC Accelerator with Full SHA-2 Family Support and Low Latency SCA/FI Protection
FortifyIQ’s SHA-2/HMAC IP core delivers fast, hardware-accelerated hashing and message authentication, supporting SHA-2-224, 256, 384, and 512, as well as HMAC based on all variants. Designed for secure embedded systems and cryptographic protocols, the core provides high throughput with minimal area overhead. As with all FortifyIQ products, it features efficient and low-latency protection against side-channel and fault injection attacks, implemented entirely at the RTL level. Built for systems targeting FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria, this core offers a robust and flexible solution for integrity and authentication in high-assurance applications.
FortifyIQ’s SHA-2/HMAC IP core is a high-performance cryptographic accelerator supporting the full SHA-2 family: SHA-2-224, SHA-2-256, SHA-2-384, and SHA-2-512, along with HMAC functionality based on each variant. Designed for secure embedded systems, it enables efficient computation of hashes and message authentication codes for applications such as secure boot, firmware validation, digital signatures, TLS, and IPsec. The architecture is optimized for high throughput and low latency while maintaining a compact footprint.
As with all FortifyIQ products, the SHA-2/HMAC core features efficient, lightweight protections against side-channel analysis (SCA) and fault injection (FI) attacks, implemented entirely at the RTL level. These algorithmic countermeasures, such as timing-invariant logic and internal operation masking, require no custom layout or placement constraints and are fully implementation-agnostic.
The core supports APB, AHB, or AXI interfaces and is designed for integration into systems aiming for FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria certification. FortifyIQ’s SHA-2/HMAC core provides robust, flexible, and secure hashing and authentication for high-assurance applications.
