A wide range of field-tested hardware cores

As a world-leading provider of security that is optimized for low-power devices, Certicom delivers the most efficient Suite B hardware cores available on the market. From ECC accelerators that enable public-key operations over efficient binary-field elliptic curves, several public-key prime field accelerators at both the point multiply and field arithmetic level, configurable AES that are especially valuable when code-size is constrained, configurable SHA-256 that is designed to clock down to conserve power, and a True Random Number Generator (TRNG) that helps products meet testing standards.

Based on award-winning, government-approved technology, Certicom delivers field tested and efficient hardware IP blocks – coupled with ASIC and FPGA design services – that minimize gates required for security, significantly speed up performance time, and reduce device power consumption.

Award-winning production control core for anti-cloning

Named the hot product for 2006 in the ASIC, IP, and Process Technology category for EDN magazine, Certicom Security for Silicon Design Protection enables fabless semiconductor companies to save millions of dollars per chip design by enabling them to securely outsource manufacturing to low-cost foundries overseas. Combining the Certicom Production Control Core with Certicom KeyInject, the solution protects silicon IP, provides metering and reporting functionality, increases bottom-line profitability, and eliminates gray market threats.

Proven board support packages (BSP) for optimizing hardware security

With wide support for leading platforms like Intel, Freescale, and Texas Instruments, Security Builder BSP exposes existing security features within a hardware cryptographic provider and enables applications to extend Certicom Suite B technology across multiple processors, trusted platform modules, hardware security modules, and smart cards. Certicom technology enables more efficient cryptographic operations, reduces power consumption, delivers stronger protection, lowers development costs, and speeds up time-to-market.
