PQPlatform-SubSys (PQP-HW-SUB) is a cryptographic subsystem, designed to provide cryptographic services. These services include post-quantum signature generation, verification, and secure key establishment. PQPlatform-SubSys uses its built-in CPU to run autonomously from the surrounding system, allowing cryptographic services to be offloaded efficiently from the system processor.
? Optionalside-channel security (SCA) for post quantum cryptographic algorithms
? Hardwareinterfaces for secure key import/export
? PQShield’s supplied firmware, running inside PQPlatform-SubSys
? Firmwaredriver running on customer CPU (delivered as C source code)
