With the growth in cyber-attacks on connected utility monitoring systems, automated factories, and automobiles a secure root of trust at the edge, followed by secure authentication techniques to connect to the cloud is required.
“GOWIN’s SecureFPGA’s offer a complete cryptographic solution to securely connect endpoints to the cloud,” said Scott Casper, Director of Sales for GOWIN Semiconductor, “with this new device, our customers can deploy endpoint products into the market with security built in."
The SecureFPGA product family uses physically unclonable functionality (PUF) to establish a Root of Trust onboard the FPGA. Once configured, the device can create unique keys for encryption/decryption and authentication functions. Standard routines like secure boot, secure download, and key exchange can be done effortlessly.
“PUF security provides a root of trust without storing sensitive information in non-volitile memory," explained Grant Jennings, Director of International Marketing for GOWIN. “Now devices and platforms can be uniquely identified, verify firmware signatures, generate keys and encrypt data with a root of trust established on power up.”
The SecureFPGA 2K LUT version will be sampling in the third quarter of 2019.
