AlpCode Introduces Family of Efficient Cryptographic Hash Cores

August 29, 2013 — AlpCode?, established provider of industry-leading software implementations of cryptographic algorithms, introduced the AlpCode SHA family, a range of efficient hardware implementations of the Secure Hash Standard (NIST FIPS 180-4) algorithms.

With their innovative architecture, Alpcode SHA Tiny cores provide higher performance using less logic than competitive offerings, allowing customers to reduce power consumption and achieve good performance in a very small footprint.

The Alpcode SHA Tiny cores for SHA-512 (supporting 384, 512 and 512/t variants) are available immediately, while SHA-256 support and AlpCode SHA Fast cores are scheduled for release next month.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
