We are pleased to announce that Crack Semiconductor was awarded the gold metal at the prestigious Ottawa Bootstrap awards in the category: Innovation in Engineering & Technology Award. This annual event is sponsored by the Royal Bank of Canada, the Business Development Bank of Canada and theTelfer School of Management. The bootstrap awards are given to companies who have developed their business with little or no venture capital to honor those that earned their success the hard way.
Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) is commonly used in RSA private key operations. It significantly increases the speed of the modular exponentiation operation by pre-computing certain values which thereby reduce the size of the exponent. An exponentiation operation with 2048-bit values for example is a very heavy process in software and if through CRT the exponent is roughly halved in size, the operation speed is significantly improved. This is also true if the operation is done with hardware assist and indeed, it also permits customers to integrate a smaller modular exponentiation engine.

Our Vision
Public Key technology will eventually be embedded in every semiconductor device that stores, uses, or communicates valuable data that must be kept private and secure. Crack Semiconductor will play a major role in helping PK technology to be as easy as memory to embed and use.
Our Mission
Total Security is not just a nice-to-have, but a must-have. To address this vital market need, Crack Semiconductor's mission is to develop innovative Silicon IP, embedded security applications software, and SoC design-methodologies to engineer a 'total security solution' to serve our target markets.
