StealthAES™
Industry-leading AES GCM Encryption IP
StealthAES IP delivers AES GCM encryption and authentication with the most advanced countermeasures against side-channel attacks. Combining area efficiency, speed, and state-of-the-art protection, StealthAES is designed to meet the needs of high-security FPGA and ASIC designs. Its easy integration, verified compliance with NIST standards, and high-quality security make StealthAES an ideal choice for your next design for commercial or defense.
Key Features of StealthAES
• Streamlined Interface: StealthAES uses a straightforward AXI4-Stream interface for data transfer. Keys are loaded via an isolated port, and optional key storage offers simple key agility with key slot referencing.
• Advanced Countermeasures: With newly developed and extensively tested side-channel countermeasures, StealthAES ensures maximum resistance against attacks with minimal impact on area and operating frequency.
• Customizable Integration: StealthCores provides tailored integrations, including custom support for PCIe interfaces, DMA, and packet processing.
Side-Channel Security
StealthCores has verified StealthAES side-channel countermeasures with over 1 billion encryption operation measurements, achieving a more than 10 million times improvement in side-channel security compared to non-countermeasure designs. Our verification processes utilize industry-standard Test Vector Leakage Analysis (TVLA) and template attack testing, ensuring resistance to both power and electromagnetic leakage. StealthAES has been rigorously tested using target boards specifically designed for side channel power analysis as well as EM analysis using FPGA vendor development kits. Data acquisition is performed at 500 MHz bandwidth and up to 5 GS/s sampling rates to ensure even high frequency leakage is detected.
