Intellectual Property
 
Mitsubishi Electric licenses Intellectual Property (IP) design information related to security LSI development with embedded encryption functions.

In today’s network society, LSIs with encryption functions are increasingly being used in such various areas as the Internet, mobile phones, DVDs (digital video discs), and IC cards. Secure LSIs are an imperative. The development of secure LSIs, however, calls for an understanding of today’s high-level encryption algorithms and of how to implement those algorithms for compact, high-speed processing. This takes time and money. Only by transforming encryption functions into IP blocks and using those blocks as a black box can development time be shortened significantly.

At Mitsubishi Electric, we have taken such IP as MISTY and Camellia, an encryption algorithm jointly developed with NTT Information Sharing Platform Laboratories, and turned it into components. By utilizing our extensive background in experimenting with encryption technology, we are able to provide an IP library at a reasonable price.


  Functional with various products
Because our IP is provided in a US Synopsys’ Design Compiler library format that is the industry standard for LSI development, it does not depend on the LSI manufacturing process and is effective in enhancing efficiency in development. Moreover, there is a wide range of IP available suitable to the application, including high-speed IP compatible with backbone network devices and mobile phone information terminals or supercompact IP optimum for IC cards. Customized consulting is also available for customers who wish designs tailored to their particular needs.


  Support of state-of-the-art cryptographic technology
We will provide state-of-the-art, 128-bit block cryptographic technology, such as Camellia and AES.


  Compact, high-speed processing
We make compact, high-speed processing possible through our leading hardware implementation technology for encryption algorithms.


  Evaluation version
Mitsubishi Electric provides evaluation versions of its products to assist customers in their assessment of logic synthesis and timing and dimension.
