The HMAC–SHA256 Accelerator from Chevin Technology delivers hardware-based cryptographic functions for secure data authentication. Targeted at sectors with stringent security demands such as aerospace, defense, and cybersecurity, this IP core enables the efficient generation and verification of HMACs (keyed-hash message authentication codes), ensuring secure communication between parties.
This solution fully supports the SHA256 hashing algorithm, delivering a hardware-rooted trust anchoring that can be crucial when the performance of software-based systems falls short. Capable of handling multiple data channels and arbitrary message lengths, the HMAC–SHA256 Accelerator is designed for high throughput processes, suited for environments where speed and security are paramount.
An all-RTL solution, it integrates seamlessly with AXI4 streaming interfaces and supports NIST and FIPS standards for secure hash and HMAC algorithms. Its application spans across various high-security domains, including secure communication networks and encrypted data storage solutions, providing an essential defense against data tampering and unauthorized access.
