PQCryptoLib-Emebedded is a versatile, CAVP-ready cryptography library designed and optimized for embedded devices. With its design focused on ultra-small memory footprint, PQCryptoLib-Embedded solutions have been specically designed for embedded systems, microcontrollers and memory-constrained devices. It provides a PQC integration to devices already in the field.
The software library is highly congurable at build time, which makes it possible to optimize PQCryptoLib-Embedded for binary size, memory-footprint or performance, and means you can deploy the software without changing the underlying hardware (also on legacy devices).
This makes PQCryptoLib-Embedded an ideal solution for PQC-enablement of browneld devices that are already deployed in the eld, especially when it comes to the provision of quantum-safe TLS.
It’s also a consideration for the next generation of devices, as PQCryptoLib-Embedded can be a step towards hardware integration, for example with our PQPlatform products.
PQCryptoLib-Embedded enables secure quantum-resistance on embedded platforms. It’s designed to be compatible with existing architectures and platforms and provides a minimal footprint.
