SHA-1 and SHA-2 Hashing Cores

AltraCores SHA-1 and SHA-2 Cores implement the FIPS PUB 180-1 and FIPS PUB 180-2 standard respectively. These cores, implement an FPGA or ASIC solution for standard cryptographic hash functions. AltraCores SHA-1 and SHA-2 Cores are designed to reduce the processing overhead of high‐speed data hashing.

AltraCores SHA-1 Core

• Implements SHA-1 secure hash algorithm, compliant with FIPS PUB 180
• Fully conformant with NIST’s software algorithm
• Compact footprint – fast operation
• Performs automatic message length calculation and padding insertion
• Optional state unload/reload feature for handling fragmented messages
  
  

AltraCores SHA-2 Core

• Implements SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 secure hash algorithms to FIPS 180-2
• Fast operation – 2.0Gbps for SHA-384/512, 1.2Gbps for SHA-224/256 in
  Stratix IV
• Performs automatic message length calculation and padding insertion
• Optional state unload/reload feature for handling fragmented messages
• Compact footprint – 4500 ALUTs and 540 Memory bits (Stratix IV)

AltraCores SHA Hashing IP cores come complete with:

• Verilog RTL source code
• Verilog test bench and test scripts
• Synthesis and timing constraints
• Optional C and System C model
• Optional aggregation interface wrapper
