Can Discretix provide a software alternative to its hardware cores?
Yes. The CryptoCell hardware core has an equivalent software core. This software core achieves two main goals; first, it enables the development of software while the hardware chip is still non-existent. Second, if an immediate solution is needed for an existing chip, the software version of the engines can be used, providing equivalent cryptographic functionality. Of course, a software core has security drawbacks that do not exist in the hardware core.
