ELECTRA IC is at the forefront of the transition to post-quantum security, offering a robust portfolio of four specialized IP cores designed to meet the rigorous demands of “NIST-standard compliance” and lattice-based cryptography.
- Poly IP Core: This core is engineered for efficient polynomial arithmetic, supporting critical lattice-based algorithms such as ML-KEM (Kyber), ML-DSA (Dilithium), and FN-DSA (Falcon). It features a dual-mode throughput for 16-bit processing and run-time configurable parameter sets to optimize performance for various security levels.
- Keccak IP Core: Supporting the SHA3 and SHAKE families, this core is fully compliant with FIPS-202. It provides high-performance hashing with features like multiple context support for parallel computations and optional countermeasures against Side-Channel Analysis and Fault Injection attacks.
- PQC Co-Proc IP Core: A highly flexible co-processor that supports the full suite of NIST PQC standards, including ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, and FN-DSA. It offers unique crypto-agility, allowing for algorithm updates and new countermeasures by re-programming its internal RISC-V core firmware.
- PQC HW/SW IP Core: This comprehensive suite integrates three hardware cores; PolyCore, KeccakCore, and MaskCore; with a dedicated software stack. It is designed for maximum adaptability, allowing users to implement and modify PQC algorithms by updating the software layer while maintaining hardware-accelerated performance.
Seamless Integration and Support
All four IP cores utilize standard AXI4 interfaces for easy system integration and are available under flexible licensing models, including encrypted netlists and RTL. ELECTRA IC ensures long-term reliability through mandatory first-year maintenance and support, which includes regular IP core updates to stay current with the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
