The HMAC SHA-512 Fast IP Core provides a hardware implementation of the Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) for the SHA-512 hash algorithm. The Fast IP Core provides a balance between high throughput and size and comes with a 64/512-bit IO interface. The HMAC SHA-512 can accept messages up to 2128-1024 bits in length and returns a 512-bit message digest. For additional security the core integrates a quick key wipe feature allowing the key to be erased both fast and securely.
The core is designed for applications that need high throughput, low latency, and reduced power consumption.
The table below shows the logic resource and performance figures for the HMAC SHA-512 IP Core. Additional chipset figures as well as an operational data sheet are available upon request.
