PQC Co-Proc IP Core
co-processor supporting NIST’s selected Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards
Overview
PQC Co-Proc IP core is a co-processor that supports NIST’s selected Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards, ML-KEM (Kyber), ML-DSA (Dilithium), SLH-DSA (SPHINCS+), and FN-DSA (Falcon). This IP is fully compliant with the NIST’s published standards, and offers countermeasures against Side-Channel Analysis attacks.
