Microsemi FPGAs awarded Rambus Cryptography Research DPA logo certification

by Rambus Blog, Aug. 31, 2015 – 

Microsemi Corporation recently announced that its SmartFusion®2 system-on-chip (SoC) field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and IGLOO®2 FPGAs successfully passed certification for resistance to differential power analysis (DPA) within the context of the DPA Countermeasure Validation Program developed by Rambus' Cryptography Research Division (CRD). These are the first FPGAs to achieve the prestigious certification.

Certification was achieved following a thorough assessment by Riscure, (a Cryptography Research-accredited third-party independent test lab), of design security algorithms and protocols used by both FPGA product families. The validation allows Microsemi to use the Cryptography Research trademarked "DPA Lock" security logo - under license from the organization - in connection with the above-mentioned products.
