GOWIN Semiconductor Introduces FPGA Product Line With Built-in Security

Source: GOWIN Semiconductor Corp. SAN JOSE, Calif. and GUANGZHOU, China, July 1, 2019 – GOWIN Semiconductor Corp., the world’s fastest-growing programmable logic company, announces the release of it’s latest product line called SecureFPGA.  SecureFPGA is targeted for endpoint and server management applications utilizing built-in security functions to eliminate the rise of security attacks and breaches in edge computing.

Connected devices in our day to day lives are the new norm.  However, with the growth of these devices comes the increased threat to steal data and impair edge and IoT platforms.  Attacks on connected utility monitoring systems, automated factories, and automobiles are becoming everyday occurrences.  To stop these kinds of attacks a secure root of trust at the edge, followed by secure authentication techniques to connect to the cloud is required.

“GOWIN’s SecureFPGA’s offer a complete cryptographic solution to securely connect endpoints to the cloud,” said Scott Casper, Director of Sales for GOWIN Semiconductor, “with this new device, our customers can deploy endpoint products into the market with security built in.”

GOWIN’s SecureFPGA product family uses physically unclonable functionality (SRAM PUF) to establish a Root of Trust onboard the FPGA.  Once configured, the device can create unique keys for encryption/decryption and authentication functions.  Standard routines like secure boot, secure download, and key exchange can be done effortlessly. 

“SRAM PUF security provides a root of trust without storing sensitive information in non-volitile memory, “ stated Grant Jennings, Director of International Marketing for GOWIN. “Now devices and platforms can be uniquely identified, verify firmware signitures, generate keys and encrypt data with a root of trust established on power up.”

The SecureFPGA 2K LUT version will be sampling in Q3’2019.  The SecureFPGA 4K LUT version is scheduled to sample and mass production in Q4’2019.  For more information about the SecureFPGA product family, please see website www.gowinsemi.com
