The certification of a cryptographic module against the FIPS 140-3 standard can be an arduous and time-consuming process. A Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC-enabled system can alleviate many of the difficulties in the certification process for these reasons:
- High level of integration.
- Wide range of built-in hard security functions.
- User-accessible hardened cryptographic blocks.
- Silicon-based anti-tamper protections.
- Side-channel attack protection.
- Cryptographic algorithms already validated by CAVP.
- Mature development environments and extensive supporting documentation.
- Rich partner ecosystem for both the PS and PL.
To help meet time-to-market demands, the combination of these key attributes makes the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC an attractive solution to consider when architecting a cryptographic module that is required to adhere to stringent security standards.
