Codasip, the leader in RISC-V Custom Compute, and Verilock, a US-based hardware security company, have announced an exclusive agreement which will provide Codasip’s ASIC customers with future-proof security technology. Leveraging Verilock’s patented Entropy Extraction Device (EED) technology, Codasip will be able to offer a range of security functions for use in autonomous cars, Industry 4.0, privacy protection, and the IoT.
Brett Cline, chief commercial officer at Codasip, said: “The semiconductor industry needs authentication solutions infused into the hardware. We also need this technology to be sophisticated enough to stay a step ahead of the bad actors. This is exactly what the ingenious team at Verilock has developed. Through our collaboration, we can provide a unique, future-proof, and flexible approach.”
Verilock was founded in 2021 to commercialize pioneering work between Ohio State University and Potomac Research LLC in the field of dynamical chaotic networks. The company provides a virtually unbreakable authentication solution based on Entropy Extraction Device (EED) technology.
Jim Northup, chief executive officer at Verilock, commented: “Current security solutions with hardware at their root have one or a handful of root keys or identifiers. This can be compromised by a motivated adversary using physical or machine learning-driven side-channel attacks. We have reinvented hardware authentication by leveraging chaotic networks. The result is truly quantum-safe systems with new possibilities for flexible and custom implementation. It’s a perfect fit with Codasip’s Custom Compute approach.”
