The SHA-3 Crypto Engine is a robust hardware accelerator specifically designed for cryptographic hashing functions. It presents a balance of high throughput and area efficiency and aligns with the FIPS 202 standards set by NIST. This engine supports all SHA-3 hash functions, including SHA-3-224, SHA-3-256, SHA-3-384, and SHA-3-512, as well as SHAKE-128 and SHAKE-256. Built to mitigate security vulnerabilities, it provides comprehensive defense against time-based side-channel attacks, ensuring data integrity.
Operating within a single clock domain, the SHA-3 Crypto Engine is adequately verified, boasting automatic byte padding and effortless integration into existing systems. Its versatility spans numerous applications ranging from Message Authentication Codes (MACs) to protocol engines like IPsec and TLS/SSL, alongside secure boot engines and encrypted data storage solutions. Through integrating this engine, clients can guarantee the integrity and security of financial transactions, e-commerce platforms, and even blockchain applications.
Delivered in System Verilog RTL with supportive testbenches and integration examples, the SHA-3 Crypto Engine offers straightforward deployment while maintaining compliance with industry standards. Its resource utilization spans a variety of FPGA families such as AMD Spartan, Kintex-7, and AMD Zynq MPSoC, presenting adaptability and efficiency across diverse platforms.
