Description
Xiphera's products
Xiphera’s product portfolio consists of efficient Intellectual Property (IP) cores for standardised cryptographic primitives and security protocols. By integrating Xiphera’s IP cores into their embedded designs, our customers can achieve the specified system-level security goals.
The majority of current implementations of cryptographic algorithms are based on software running on a processor. This approach increases the attack surface by relying on the underlying operating system, third party software libraries, and the processor architecture.
In contrast, Xiphera’s security approach is to implement the cryptographic algorithms directly in digital hardware, either on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) or Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC). This approach offers performance advantages combined with first grade security, as the control over the implementation details — down to indivual bits and clock cycles — minimises the attack surface.
Xiphera categorises its products into Crypto Cores and Crypto Solutions. The former are for individual cryptographic primitives, whereas the latter support complex security protocols and internally use a collection of cryptographic primitives.
Xiphera in brief
Xiphera Ltd. is a Finnish company designing hardware-based security solutions using standardised cryptographic algorithms. We have strong cryptographic expertise, extensive experience in system design, and deep knowledge on reprogrammable logic, enabling us to protect our customers’ critical information and assets.
Xiphera’s product portfolio consists of secure and efficient cryptographic Intellectual Property (IP) cores, designed for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). Our widely applicable solutions for various end markets offer our customers peace of mind in a dangerous world.
Our mission statement is to protect critical systems by designing security directly into hardware.
Crypto Cores
Xiphera’s Crypto Cores consist of secure and efficient IP cores for specific cryptographic algorithms. Each Crypto Core implements an individual algorithm or a small set of similar algorithms; examples of the former are individual block ciphers, cryptographic hash functions, and a true random number generator. Examples of the latter are the AES block cipher in different modes of operations, key exchange and digital signatures based on the same set of elliptic curves, or message authentication code and key derivation function based on the same cryptographic hash algorithm.
Xiphera’s Crypto Core portfolio includes only standardised cryptographic algorithms that are considered secure by the cryptographic community. The portfolio does not contain any legacy or proprietary algorithms with known weaknesses. Xiphera’s Crypto Cores are fully constant time implementations and offer a high-level of protection against common side-channel attacks.
As there are different requirements for cryptographic IP cores, Xiphera's cores are offered in three variants with different optimisation goals. The last letter (B, C, or H) in the IP core code denotes the optimisation goal as follows:
B = Balanced, optimised for both performance and digital logic usage,
C = Compact, optimised for low digital logic usage,
H = High-Speed, optimised for high performance.
All Crypto Cores are shipped with a comprehensive test bench and detailed documentation.

Xipera's services
- CONSULTING: Xiphera can support you in defining the system-level security goals and proposing hardware architectures for realising them.
- DESIGN SERVICES: In selected cases, Xiphera is available for non-cryptographic design services, especially if you do not have the required skills or available resources to implement the required functionality on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) or Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs).
- CUSTOMISATION: The definitions and standards of certain cryptographic algorithms are not in the public domain, and Xiphera has the expertise to efficiently and securely implement these algorithms in digital logic.
