RedHawk-SC Security is the industry's first EDA solution for pre-silicon hardware security verification addressing power, power-noise, electromagnetic, and other multiphysics side-channel leakage vulnerabilities.
RedHawk-SC Security features RTL/gate power, layout-level power-noise, electromagnetic, and Multiphysics simulation for fast side-channel trace generation and security analytics. Given the physical design database of the chip, you can virtually probe on-die and off-chip emissions to pinpoint spatial and temporal side-channel leakage to prioritize physical design mitigations. It leverages the innovative SeaScape data platform to complete massive time-domain simulation with a much faster turn-around time than post-silicon validation.
As an advanced option of Ansys RedHawk-SC, RedHawk-SC security leverages Multiphysics solvers to simulate power, on-chip power-noise, near-field electromagnetic emission, and thermal profiling traces with up to billion cycles for data leakage assessment. It enables chip side-channel leakage analysis and security sign-off solutions for security architects, RTL design, and physical design verification engineers.
How RedHawk-SC Security assess and quantify side channel leakage vulnerabilities
Data security and privacy are essential concerns for mission-critical components in many electronic systems today. Automotive, financial, 5G and IoT devices use modern cryptography to ensure information security; it can be compromised by exploiting vulnerabilities in the physical implementation of underlying integrated circuits (ICs). Side-channel leakage analysis (SCLA) is a technique to extract sensitive information from sub-optimally protected hardware by probing various physical phenomena. As ICs cannot be altered in the field, verifying side-channel countermeasures in the pre-silicon design stage is essential. Our Multiphysics simulation enables system-on-chip (SoC) design teams (without hardware security background) to predict and quantify design vulnerabilities for side-channel analysis and assess the effectiveness of the design countermeasures.
RedHawk-SC Security simulates Multiphysics side-channel emissions at different design abstraction levels, giving a complete picture of a given IC design’s security risks as part of a more extensive electronics architecture. This powerful solution features a fast, billion-cycle power profile simulator that assesses the most complex side-channel metrics within a few hours.
Ansys RedHawk-SC Security features the industry-golden Multiphysics solvers to tackle the simulation challenges of hardware security/safety verification.
