Built for
crypto silicon.

Traditional EDA tools were not designed for cryptographic hardware. OpenForge provides purpose-built verification, analysis, and compliance tools for PQC implementations.

Verification

Constant-Time Verification

Formal proof that your design executes in constant time regardless of input data. Catches timing leaks that simulation misses.

Security

Side-Channel Simulation

Power analysis and electromagnetic emanation modeling. Test DPA, CPA, and template attacks before tapeout.

Analysis

Entropy Flow Analysis

Track entropy propagation through your design. Verify that random number generators meet SP 800-90B requirements.

Compliance

FIPS Compliance Checker

Automated verification against FIPS 140-3, FIPS 203/204/205, and Common Criteria requirements.

Math

NTT/Polynomial Validator

Formal verification of Number Theoretic Transform implementations and polynomial arithmetic against reference specifications.

Infrastructure

Cloud-Native Architecture

Run verification jobs on cloud infrastructure. Parallel execution, auto-scaling, and pay-per-use compute for large designs.

Built on
open source.

OpenForge integrates and extends the best open-source EDA and verification tools, adding cryptographic-specific analysis layers on top.

Simulation

Verilator

High-performance RTL simulation engine. Compiled C++ output for fastest cycle-accurate verification.

Testbench

Cocotb

Python-based verification framework. Write testbenches in Python with coroutine-based stimulus generation.

Formal

SymbiYosys

Formal verification frontend. Bounded model checking, induction proofs, and equivalence checking.

Synthesis

Yosys

Open-source synthesis framework. RTL optimization, technology mapping, and netlist generation.

SMT Solver

Z3

Microsoft's SMT solver for formal property checking. Powers constant-time and equivalence proofs.

Linting

Verible

SystemVerilog parser and linter. Style checking, formatting, and code quality analysis.

Timing

OpenSTA

Static timing analysis engine. Setup/hold checks, clock domain crossing, and timing closure.

Side-Channel

ChipWhisperer

Power analysis and glitch injection framework. DPA, CPA, and fault attack simulation.

Command-line first.

OpenForge is designed for automation. Every operation is available through the CLI, making it easy to integrate into CI/CD pipelines.

Terminal
# Initialize a new crypto hardware project
$ openforge init --template pqc-accelerator my-design

# Run constant-time verification on your NTT module
$ openforge verify --constant-time src/ntt_engine.sv
  [PASS] 847 paths verified. 0 timing leaks detected.

# Analyze side-channel resistance (DPA simulation)
$ openforge analyze --side-channel --attack dpa src/aes_sbox.sv
  [PASS] No first-order leakage detected. SNR: 0.003

# Generate FIPS compliance report
$ openforge report --fips-140-3 --output report.pdf
  [INFO] Report generated: 94/97 requirements satisfied.
  [WARN] 3 items require manual review. See report.pdf
