Hardware Interfaces

Referring to the Comportable guideline for peripheral device functionality, the module kmac has the following hardware interfaces defined

  • Primary Clock: clk_i
  • Other Clocks: clk_edn_i
  • Bus Device Interfaces (TL-UL): tl
  • Bus Host Interfaces (TL-UL): none
  • Peripheral Pins for Chip IO: none
Port Name Package::Struct Type Act Width Description
keymgr_key keymgr_pkg::hw_key_req uni rcv 1
app kmac_pkg::app req_rsp rsp 3
entropy edn_pkg::edn req_rsp req 1
idle prim_mubi_pkg::mubi4 uni req 1
en_masking logic uni req 1
lc_escalate_en lc_ctrl_pkg::lc_tx uni rcv 1
tl tlul_pkg::tl req_rsp rsp 1

Interrupts

Interrupt Name Type Description
kmac_done Event KMAC/SHA3 absorbing has been completed
fifo_empty Event Message FIFO empty condition
kmac_err Event KMAC/SHA3 error occurred. ERR_CODE register shows the details

Security Alerts

Alert Name Description
recov_operation_err Alert for KMAC operation error. It occurs when the shadow registers have update errors.
fatal_fault_err This fatal alert is triggered when a fatal error is detected inside the KMAC unit. Examples for such faults include: i) TL-UL bus integrity fault. ii) Storage errors in the shadow registers. iii) Errors in the message, round, or key counter. iv) Any internal FSM entering an invalid state. v) An error in the redundant lfsr. The KMAC unit cannot recover from such an error and needs to be reset.

Security Countermeasures

Countermeasure ID Description
KMAC.BUS.INTEGRITY End-to-end bus integrity scheme.
KMAC.LC_ESCALATE_EN.INTERSIG.MUBI The global escalation input signal from the life cycle is multibit encoded
KMAC.SW_KEY.KEY.MASKING Data storage and secret key are two share to guard against 1st order attack.
KMAC.KEY.SIDELOAD Key from KeyMgr is sideloaded.
KMAC.CFG_SHADOWED.CONFIG.SHADOW Shadowed CFG register.
KMAC.FSM.SPARSE FSMs in KMAC are sparsely encoded.
KMAC.CTR.REDUN Round counter, key index counter, sentmsg counter and hash counter use prim_count for redundancy
KMAC.PACKER.CTR.REDUN Packer Position counter uses prim_count for redundancy
KMAC.CFG_SHADOWED.CONFIG.REGWEN CFG_SHADOWED is protected by REGWEN
KMAC.FSM.GLOBAL_ESC Escalation moves all sparse FSMs into an invalid state.
KMAC.FSM.LOCAL_ESC Local fatal faults move all sparse FSMs into an invalid state.
KMAC.LOGIC.INTEGRITY The reset net for the internal state register and critical nets around the output register are buried.
KMAC.ABSORBED.CTRL.MUBI absorbed signal is mubi4_t type to protect against FI attacks.
KMAC.SW_CMD.CTRL.SPARSE sw_cmd and related signals are sparse encoded to protect against FI attacks.
