Intrinsic-ID’s SHA-256 core is a highly efficient hardware IP core implementing the Secure Hash Algorithm Standard (SHA) in compliance with Federal Information Processing Standards FIPS PUB 180-2. It hashes messages of up to 264 bits in consecutive blocks of 512 bits using an efficient 64-round compression function. 

Functionality:

High throughput core for efficient data hashing

Advantages:

• Secure Has Standard
• FIPS PUB 180-2 compliant
• High speed hardware hashing
• Low gate count
• Seamless integration with Intrinsic-ID Quiddikey™ and iRNG IP products

Applications:

SHA-256 can be used in a number of devices and applications, coming from the field of smart card technology, automotive, government & military communication systems, content protection and more:

• smart cards
• microcontrollers
• routers and other network devices
• in Public Key Infrastructures for compression in digital signature schemes
• for high-speed data hashing
• for authentication in HMAC mode
• for data integrity checking
• for one-way key derivation functions
• for secure boot applications

Notes:
    * other trade-offs between gate count and performance available on request
    * actual numbers are technology and process dependent
