Microsemi Corporation, a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, recently announced its SmartFusion®2 system-on-chip (SoC) field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and IGLOO®2 FPGAs have successfully passed certification for resistance to differential power analysis (DPA) in the DPA Countermeasure Validation Programme developed by Rambus Cryptography Research Division. This allows Microsemi to use the prestigious Cryptography Research trademarked “DPA Lock” security logo under license from the organisation in connection with these products. Certification was achieved after a thorough assessment by Riscure, a Cryptography Research-accredited third-party independent test lab, of design security algorithms and protocols used by both Microsemi FPGA product families.
