HKDF/HMAC/SHA-256

SHA-256 IP Core with Extended Functionalities

Product code: XIP3322B

This IP Core from Xiphera is a versatile Intellectual Property (IP) core designed for SHA-256 cryptographic hash function with extended support for HMAC message authentication code and HKDF key derivation function that are based on using SHA-256. SHA-256 is one of the most commonly used hash functions and is used in numerous cryptographic applications. It offers a good balance between performance and resource requirements.

Satellite communications are no longer as secure as assumed

Satellite links are often considered inherently secure due to their distance and specialised infrastructure. In reality, this assumption no longer holds. Sensitive data from critical infrastructure, enterprises, in-flight connectivity, and even government systems is increasingly transmitted over satellite networks without sufficient protection. At the same time, satellite communications are becoming a target for both cyber and geopolitical actors.

Why Post-Quantum Cryptography Doesn’t Replace Classical Cryptography

As quantum computing advances, discussions around the future of cryptography are becoming increasingly common. In many conversations, one message is often heard: in the future, only quantum-safe cryptography will be needed. While quantum computing does introduce real risks to certain cryptographic systems, the reality is more nuanced. Future secure systems will not solely on a single “quantum-safe” algorithm. Instead, they will continue to combine multiple cryptographic technologies.
