XIP4001C: X25519

Very compact IP core designed for efficient key exchange using the X25519 protocol

XIP4001C calculates the operation Qx= s * Px using the Montgomery Ladder Algorithm, where Px is the 255 bits long input argument, s is the 256 bits long secret key and Qx is the 255 bits long point multiplication result.

Easy integration with other FPGA logic, as the functionality of XIP4001C does not rely on any FPGA family specific features.

Features

  • Minimal Resource Requirements: The entire XIP4001C requires less than 1k Logic Elements and uses only 1-2 multipliers/DSP Blocks 2 and one memory block in a typical FPGA implementation.
  • Constant Latency: The execution time of XIP4001C is independent of the key value, and consequently provides protection against timing-based side-channel attacks.
  • Performance: Despite its small size, XIP4001C can support more than 100 key exchange operations per second.
  • Standard Compliance: XIP4001C is compliant with RFC 7748, and can be used in many public-key protocols including IKEv2 (RFC 8031) and TLS 1.3 (RFC 8446).
