Microchip’s PolarFire® FPGA’s Single-Chip Crypto Design Flow “Successfully Reviewed” By the United Kingdom Government’s National Cyber Security Centre
30 Agosto 2023 - 9:00AM
Security is now an imperative for all designs in every vertical
market. Today, system architects and designers received further
evidence of the security of their communications, industrial,
aerospace, defense, nuclear and other systems relying on Microchip
Technology’s
(Nasdaq: MCHP) PolarFire FPGAs. The
United Kingdom Government’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)
has reviewed the devices when used with the Single-Chip Crypto
Design Flow against stringent device-level resiliency requirements.
“The NCSC conducts a very rigorous analysis, and the work done
with Microchip on the Design Separation Methodology in the
PolarFire FPGA enables the user to take advantage of improved
resilience and functional isolation within the device. This
reinforces Microchip’s commitment to our comprehensive approach to
security,” said Tim Morin, technical fellow at Microchip’s FPGA
business unit. “This analysis provides the option for single-chip
cryptography in addition to what already exists within the devices
for protecting IP, securing data and protection against physical
tampering—an often overlooked and very powerful threat to every
electronic system, especially those at the intelligent edge.”
PolarFire FPGAs implement Microchip’s industry-leading security
architecture to protect intellectual property, secure data and
secure supply chains.
- PolarFire FPGA IP protection includes:
- AES 256-encrypted configuration files with SHA 256-based HMAC
authentication
- Processing is protected against Differential Power Analysis
(DPA) with technology licensed from Cryptography Research
Incorporated (CRI)
- Public key cryptographic cores: Elliptic Curve Cryptography
(ECC) for secure distribution of keys
- True random number generators
- PolarFire FPGA data security features include:
- Hardened cryptographic accelerators for use in the end
application
- Pass-through CRI license enables royalty-free development of
DPA-protected algorithms using techniques patented by CRI
- PolarFire FPGA supply chain security features reduce the risk
of counterfeiting, re-marking and overbuilding and include:
- Silicon biometrics, including Physically Unclonable Functions
(PUFs), that allow each device to be uniquely identified and
cryptographically validated
The devices are supported by Microchip’s Libero® SoC Design
Suite available to license, including no-charge versions, from
Microchip’s Purchasing and Client Services website at
www.microchipdirect.com.
PolarFire FPGA and SoC development kits and hardware are also
available on the purchasing and client services website.
About the PolarFire Family
Microchip’s PolarFire devices lead their
product category in delivering twice the power efficiency,
military-grade security and the industry’s highest reliability,
which the company will extend with the PolarFire 2 FPGA roadmap as
Microchip continues to increase compute capability in ever-smaller
and less costly industrial, IoT and other edge-compute products.
With their real-time, Linux®-capable RISC-V-based microprocessor
subsystem, PolarFire SoC devices are the only SoCs
on the market that create new configurable processing capabilities
through hardened RISC-V core complexes in a fast FPGA fabric.
Ideally positioned to create custom compute inside an FPGA fabric,
this family of FPGAs and SoCs has played a major role in fueling
the fast-growing market for systems that move computer workloads to
the power-sensitive intelligent edge. Developers can begin
designing with Microchip’s PolarFire family using the
software tools, which are available on the
company’s website. All first-generation PolarFire devices are in
full production.
