The Side-channel Attack Resistance module provides specialized defense against potential leaks that occur when cryptographic keys are extracted using side-channel methods such as power consumption or electromagnetic emissions analysis. FortifyIQ’s approach integrates resistance directly into the design process, rather than relying on post-manufacturing testing, saving developers both time and financial resources.
With tools like SideChannel Studio, developers can simulate side-channel vulnerabilities at the pre-silicon phase, thus identifying and mitigating leaks long before they become ingrained in physical hardware. By pinpointing weaknesses accurately, FortifyIQ's products ensure that robust countermeasures are built into the hardware, significantly enhancing security.
This anticipatory strategy not only secures the hardware from anticipated side-channel threats but also aligns with NIST requirements, thereby fostering confidence in compliance and future-proofing the design against evolving security landscapes.
