Xilinx Crypto Modernization Initiative

The Xilinx Single Chip Crypto (SCC) solution meets the needs of next generation crypto requirements using Xilinx FPGAs, including Defense-grade Virtex®-5Q devices. Historically, using FPGAs in Type I cryptographic equipment resulted in inefficient processing and an increase in system size, weight, and power. Redundancy and functional isolation required physically separate devices. This Xilinx technology allows those features to be integrated into a single chip, enabling the information assurance industry to maximize the value of FPGAs.
