QRoot Lite™ is a silicon IP solution designed specifically for resource-constrained MCUs and IoT devices. It provides essential security capabilities including secure boot, device attestation, and sealed storage. Built on the industry-standard TCG MARS specification, QRoot Lite™ simplifies integration, reduces costs, and accelerates your journey toward regulatory compliance and trusted embedded products.
Lightweight, Configurable Security
QRoot Lite™ is optimized for minimal silicon footprint (~25k gates), making it ideal for resource-constrained microcontrollers and IoT SoCs.
Rapidly implement secure boot and attestation capabilities without significant area, cost, or complexity overhead.
Secure Boot & Firmware Integrity
Protect your devices at boot-time by ensuring only authorized firmware and software run, verified through trusted measurements and cryptographic signatures.
Prevent malicious software attacks, unauthorized access, and firmware tampering to safeguard critical device functionality.
Standards-Based Attestation
QRoot Lite™ fully aligns with the Trusted Computing Group’s MARS specification, providing standard attestation and measurement reporting (PCR/TSR).
Achieve compliance with industry standards effortlessly, enabling your product to meet rigorous security regulations and customer demands.
Sealed Storage (Key Protection)
Safely store cryptographic keys and sensitive data by cryptographically binding storage to the device identity and its verified state.
Ensure that secret keys remain protected even if hardware falls into unauthorized hands, safeguarding data against tampering and cloning.
Flexible Cryptography (Hash, MAC, KDF)
Choose from configurable cryptographic primitives, such as SHA-2 and NIST-approved lightweight algorithms like Ascon, tailored to your performance and security requirements.
Maintain cryptographic agility to ensure future-proof security as threats evolve and standards advance.
Hardware & Firmware Integration Simplicity
QRoot Lite™ integrates easily via standard industry interfaces (APB, AXI, SPI, UART) and provides a clean, intuitive firmware API compatible with the MARS command set.
Simplify the integration process, accelerating your development cycle, and freeing up your engineers for value-added innovation.
Trusted Sensor Readings (TSRs)
Use built-in Trusted Sensor Registers (TSRs) to verify sensor data integrity, ensuring critical sensor readings cannot be tampered with.
Establish trust in your IoT devices’ sensor data, enabling reliable decision-making and reducing vulnerability to cyberattacks and sensor spoofing.
Supply Chain & Device Provenance Security
Authenticate the integrity and authenticity of your devices throughout their lifecycle and across the supply chain using verifiable attestation and secure identity features.
Prevent device counterfeiting, unauthorized manufacturing, and supply chain infiltration, safeguarding brand reputation and customer trust.
