SRAM PUF-based security IP protects Intel FPGAs

June 12, 2022 By Redding Traiger

Intrinsic announced the immediate availability of its SRAM PUF-based hardware IP “QuiddiKey for Intel FPGAs”. QuiddiKey for Intel FPGAs is device-level security IP that comes pre-integrated as part of the security infrastructure of several Intel FPGA families. It creates a more secure platform by providing access to Intrinsic ID’s SRAM PUF technology on the FPGAs. SRAM PUF root keys are only available (in volatile memory) when needed and not stored anywhere on the device. Any key – or other sensitive data – can be encrypted with PUF-derived keys, binding them physically to the device so that they cannot be copied or cloned.

QuiddiKey for Intel FPGAs is designed specifically for Intel customers working on military, aerospace, and government applications. It is based on Intrinsic ID’s proven SRAM PUF IP, QuiddiKey, which is certified for military and aerospace applications and has been deployed by US and European defense agencies for over a decade.

The deployment of PUF technology on Intel FPGAs enables Bitstream Encryption Keys to be ‘wrapped’ with device unique keys, so each owner of the device can protect the device and their IP, so a trusted supply chain is maintained through to ‘End of Life’ (EOL) of the device.

Advances in AI, machine learning, and greater connectivity are used heavily in defense electronics systems adding increased complexity and widening the possible attack surface of these devices. In parallel, the sophistication of adversaries is rising, calling for more robust security measures to prevent cloning and counterfeiting which can threaten the supply chain and lead to the theft of assets containing sensitive IP.

The authenticity and integrity of these devices need to be guaranteed through strong, user-generated cryptographic keys rooted in the structure of the FPGA itself. These cryptographic user keys need to be unclonable, never stored on a device and invisible to an attacker even when the device is powered off, particularly in an unmanned device. This is what QuiddiKey for Intel FPGAs delivers. It provides SRAM PUF technology from Intrinsic-ID on Intel Stratix and Agilex FPGA families.

A frequency you can count on There are few constants in life, but what few there are might include death, taxes, and a U.S. grid frequency that doesn’t vary by more than ±0.5 Hz. However, the certainty of the grid frequency is coming into question, thanks to the rising percentage of renewable energy sources that…
