Abstract
Abstract:
This SoClution from DataTech S.D.A. [1] provides a mechanism to secure intellectual properties in- tended to be loaded on a microcontroller from a storage device. This SoClution protects the access to an encrypted IP core as well as guarantee that the microcontroller executes a convenient and se- cure decryption and loading. This device allows to remotely upgrade IP core loaded in the storage de- vice via one/different communication mechanisms (ethernet, UART, SPI, I2C, ...).
Security means Encryption. This unique SoClution which unexpesively allows users to protect their valuable IP cores, makes use of Elliptic Curves Cryptography (ECC) algorithmic to han- dle negotiation and authentication and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithmic to handle encryption. (Also transparent flavours available).
Should you need a variant of one of our unique So- Clutions not in our current public portfolio, do not hesitate to ask. We developed most flavours and vari- ants for all of our part numbers, and we DO welcome tailoring requests.
Hence, this SoClution allows the following ba-
sic behaviours (more than one behaviour may be 3 present):
-
Deciphering of IP core in E2PROM / FLASH.
-
Pairing capability with external storage con- trollers (E2PROM / FLASH) (”in the middle” flavour?
-
Pairing capability with microcontroller.
-
Interface with microcontroller.
-
Secure API to handle upgrading IP core/testing/debug over a convenient in- terface (Ethernet, UART, SPI, I2C, ...)
-
...
It is also possible to implement local periodic be- haviours to dynamically guarantee that security is not compromised.
