The Algebraic Eraser™ Provides Sophisticated Encryption and Authentication in Embedded Devices

SecureRF’s foundational Algebraic Eraser™ addresses the critical security needs of resource-constrained embedded devices that require strong, but lightweight encryption and irrefutable authentication.

SecureRF’s security algorithm can be implemented in a variety of embedded systems products:

• Microcontroller units (MCUs)
• Wireless phone devices 
• Wireless networks
• WiMax applications
• Peer-to-peer mesh networks
• Machine to machine authentication
• RFID tags: active, passive, battery–assisted passive
• Sensors and other resource constrained devices

Why is the Algebraic Eraser ideally suited as an embedded security technology?

• Small parameter sets – The Algebraic Eraser runs over a small number system (typically a prime between 13 and 31), resulting in small datapaths (5 bit or less)
• Small run times due to a very efficient computation algorithm.

Our embedded system public key engine is available as firmware, RTL licenses, and Netlist licenses.  It is stronger than 1,024-bit RSA, but runs at less than 2,900 gates.

Our custom development support provides developers and engineers with a flexible method to implement customized security functions in M2M and embedded platforms, microcontrollers, FPGAs and other integrated circuits
