Market trends
The need of security in embedded systems is constantly growing.
The encrypt/decrypt process that secures connected devices is often performed in the data flow. The need for high-performance solutions is thus constantly growing while power constraints are more and more severe, especially for mobile applications.
Public Key cryptography is mainly used for digital signature and key exchange protocols. Based on complex arithmetic operations on large numbers, Public K ey cryptography like RSA is a very compute-intensive process that consumes a lot of CPU resources in security systems. Without any doubt, hardware acceleration is the right way to overcome these issues.
Our commitment
- Addressing the well-known challenges of the IP business
- Guaranteeing quality, predictability and time-to-market
Business model
We are glad to propose a smooth and attractive business model in line with the advantages of our solutions:
- Evaluation and generation processes are shorten, reducing costs
- Risks due to customization and non-predictability are minimized
- No waste of time and money for next re-use, re-target or upgrade. Next implementation will be issued from the same RTL root
