Tiempo Secure's TESIC RISC-V IP Secure Element successfully characterized on GlobalFoundries' 22FDX technology node

Grenoble, France – March 12, 2024 – Tiempo Secure’s certified TESIC RISC-V Secure Element was implemented in GlobalFoundries' (GF) 22FDX® platform with MRAM, after a rigorous characterization process. The Secure Element also passed the CC EAL5+ AVA_VAN.5 security assessment testing with the ITSEF SERMA laboratory. GF’s industry-leading 22FDX (22nm FD-SOI) platform boasts an ultra-low power memory, exceptional energy efficiency, and embedded MRAM technology.

Tiempo Secure leveraged its long-standing know-how in Secure IP, to adapt its TESIC design to the 22FDX technology process node. The TESIC platform has a secure architecture based on a RISC-V CPU core, memories including (ROM, RAM, Cache, Crypto-RAM, and MRAM non-volatile memory), random number generators, security sensors, and secure crypto-accelerators, capable of supporting various types of symmetrical and asymmetrical cryptographic algorithms. This provides a pre-silicon certified IP solution on GF’s 22FDX to SoC manufacturers who require a high-end Secure Element.
