Hash-based post-quantum hardware accelerator

Overview

PQPlatform-Hash is a side-channel-secure hardware accelerator supporting a wide range of Hash-Based Signature Schemes (HBSS). Deploying LMS and XMSS, quantum-safe algorithms that can be deployed in a non-hybrid configuration, it’s optimized for resource constrained devices, maximizing high performance and high security. PQPlatform-Hash includes PQShield’s world-class firmware which runs the accelerator from a host CPU.
