The Algebraic EraserTM Core for the Microsemi SmartFusion®2

Delivering an Ultra-Fast, Low-Power Security Solution for the Internet of Things

SecureRF’s Algebraic Eraser Core (AECore) is a Diffie-Hellman-like Markets: Applications: optimized for cost and power. By utilizing  Military  Interconnected Sensors  Retail (High Value Products)  RFID Tags SecureRF’s breakthrough AE algorithm — the world’s first linear-in-  Home Security/Home Automation  Smart Cards time method — the AECore delivers over 60 times more efficient  Industrial Process Controls  Chain of Custody/Product performance over current commercial solutions like Elliptic Curve  Low-Resource Network Hardware Traceability (ECC). Even greater efficiency over ECC is attained at  Pharmaceuticals  Digital Locks higher security levels due to linear characteristics of the AECore.  Energy and Power  Anti-Counterfeiting  Medical Devices  Automotive

Key Features:  60+ times faster than ECC for the equivalent security level  Low gate count/low power  Core suitable for FPGAs and ASIC implementations.

Specifications:  Resource utilization, Microsemi M2S050-FG484:  4LUTs: 2,563  DFF: 3,087  I/O Register: 0  Logic Element: 12,627  Run time: ~73us per AEKEP (Algebraic Eraser exchange operation) as measured on an Emcraft SmartFusion2 development board (M2S050-FG484) with ARM® Cortex™-M3 clock @ 100MHz and FPGA fabric @ 50MHz.

Microsemi’s next-generation SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs address fundamental requirements for advanced security, high reliability and AECore Model H-AEDH-MSI-002 low power in critical industrial, military, aviation, communications and medical applications. SmartFusion2 integrates an inherently reliable flash-based FPGA fabric, a 166 megahertz (MHz) ARM ® Cortex-M3 processor, advanced security processing accelerators, DSP blocks, SRAM, eNVM, and industry-required high-performance communication interfaces all on a single chip.

The AECore’s efficiencies in timing, power consumption, and reduced footprint enable higher levels of security without altering the standard platforms currently in use, which makes the AECore ideal for any devices found in the Internet of Things (IoT), including the Microsemi SmartFusion2.

More on the Algebraic Eraser SecureRF holds four U.S. Patents in the field of cryptography including U.S. Patents # 9,071,427, # 9,071,408, # 8,972,715 and # 7,649,999, entitled “Method and apparatus for establishing a key agreement protocol.” This patent provides a system and method for generating a secret key to facilitate secure communications between users via an algorithmically efficient one-way function using a branch of mathematics referred to as group theoretic cryptography. The algorithm is computationally hard to reverse while rapidly computable, thus enabling it to run on devices with low computing resources.
