Description: Compact Public Key Processor for RSA, DH, and ECC
From the world leader in high performance public key cryptography cores comes the F5200, a fast, efficient microprocessor designed for public and secret key cryptography applications. With an area footprint of less than 11,000 tiles, the F5200 delivers big performance of 21 RSA-1024 private key operations per second, and supports the myriad of public key cryptography algorithms, including Diffie-Hellman and elliptic curve cryptography.
The F5200 implements Athena's T5200 instruction set architecture (ISA), making it firmware compatible with the high-performance TeraFire T5200 and E5200 cryptography microprocessors and T5200 Application Library. With the programmable T5200 ISA, the F5200 can execute virtually any public key cryptography algorithm today, and can execute the algorithms of tomorrow with a simple firmware update.
With the optional AES and SHA functions enabled, the F5200 becomes a highly flexible security application coprocessor in your SoC. By leveraging the T5200 ISA direct transfer interface, the F5200 can enable functions ranging from secure boot memory validation to 'bump-in-the-wire' IPsec coprocessing. The direct transfer interface may also be used to pair two F5200 cores, enabling twice the throughput and half the latency for RSA private key operations with CRT.
Base configurations of the F5200 can support 1,024-bit operations. The F5200 may be configured for larger operations with additional memory. With support for virtually any length operation, the F5200 is ready to support even greater security requirements in the future.
