CAVP Certification for MachXO3D FPGAs Enables
Communication/Compute, Industrial and Automotive Systems to
Protect, Detect and Recover from Attacks
Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power programmable
leader, today announced its MachXO3D™ FPGAs for secure system
control received the National Institute of Standards and
Technology’s (NIST) Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program
(CAVP) certification. CAVP certification validates that critical
MachXO3D cryptographic algorithms are compliant with Federal
Information Processing Standards (FIPS), the U.S. federal
government’s standard for cryptographic software. By complying with
both the CAVP and NIST’s Platform Firmware Resilience
specifications, the MachXO3D FPGA’s security mechanisms can
protect, detect and recover the device and other system components
from unauthorized firmware access throughout its operating life:
from the device’s initial integration, through system shipment,
installation and its entire operational life.
“Securing hardware against unauthorized access is critical to
preventing the potentially catastrophic damage caused by data and
design theft, product cloning and overbuilding, and device
tampering or hijacking. However, the threat landscape is constantly
evolving, making it difficult for OEMs to confirm their system’s
hardware is truly protected,” said Jim Tavacoli, Senior Director of
Product Marketing, Lattice Semiconductor. “By obtaining CAVP
certification for our MachXO3D FPGAs, Lattice addresses many of the
hardware security concerns the industrial, automotive and computing
markets currently face by assuring OEMs that their systems are
protected by cryptographic solutions independently certified to be
compliant with stringent U.S. government regulations.”
MachXO3D is the only FPGA on the market that combines the design
flexibility of programmable logic with a secure dual-boot
configuration block to provide easy application design, establish a
hardware-based Root of Trust to ensure system components only boot
from authorized firmware, and enable secure delivery of firmware
updates in the field. Key features of the MachXO3D include:
- Up to 9K look-up tables for implementing logic that instantly
configures at power up from on-device flash memory
- On-device regulator for single 2.5/3.3-volt power supply
operation
- Support for up to 2700 Kbits of user flash memory and up to 430
Kbits sysMEM™ embedded block RAM to provide more flexible design
options
- Up to 383 I/Os, configurable to support LVCMOS 3.3 to 1.0, and
designed to integrate into a wide variety of system environments
with features such as hot-socketing, default pull-down, input
hysteresis, and programmable slew rate
- Embedded security block that provides pre-verified hardware
support for cryptographic functions such as ECDSA256, ECIES, AES,
SHA, HMAC, TRNG, Unique Secure ID and Public/Private Key
Generation
- Embedded secure configuration engine to ensure only FPGA
configurations from a trusted source can be installed
- Dual on-device configuration memories to enable fail-safe
reprogramming of component firmware in the event of compromise
