Overview

Small footprint trusted identity

Generate unclonable 128 or 256-bit seeds with a compact, logic-based PUF that drops into any SoC. Digital PUF IP adds true hardware identity for secure boot, key generation, and device authentication with minimal silicon overhead.

Whether you design silicon, architect security, or validate compliance, Digital PUF IP delivers the trust anchor you need

  • SoC & ASIC Designers
    Add hardware identity and key‐seed generation without large area or external fuses.
  • Security Architects
    Tie secure boot and root-of-trust schemes to a physically unclonable seed.
  • Embedded Platform Engineers
    Pair with TRNG or secure-element blocks for complete crypto workflows.
  • Compliance & QA Teams
    NIST-validated entropy and health tests simplify certification and audit.

Key features

Unclonable Identity

Each device derives a unique, tamper-resistant seed for authentication and key generation

Customisable Security

Choose 128- or 256-bit seeds to match application requirements and crypto policies

Low Silicon Footprint

<30 kGates (typical) including fuzzy extractor

Layout-Hardened Reliability

Optimised logic cells reduce silicon skew and improve bit stability

Standards Validated

Randomness validated against NIST SP800, including CQ’s PUF-appropriate TurRiNG test suite and BSI’s AIS31 test suites

Easy SoC Integration

APB or AXI interface options drop into existing bus architectures

Benefits

Logic-Based Entropy Array

Static mismatch in logic cells produces a high-entropy bitstring that is unique per device

Fuzzy Extractor & Helper Data

Built-in error-correction logic creates helper data for repeatable seed regeneration with 1 × 10⁻⁹ failure rate

NIST-Validated Randomness

Raw entropy and post-correction output meet SP 800-22 and SP 800-90B requirements

Configurable Seed Size

Select 128-bit or 256-bit output to align with AES, ECC, or PQC key strengths

Hardened Physical Design

Layout guidelines and optional skew-reduction techniques improve robustness across technology nodes

Custom Bus Interface

APB by default; AXI or proprietary bus options available for seamless SoC connectivity

Crypto Quantique Unveils Latest Lightweight Cryptographic Primitives for Securing the Edge

Crypto Quantique, a provider of quantum-driven security for the Internet of Things (IoT), has significantly boosted the performance of its semiconductor hardware IP, QDID, a NIST-compliant physical unclonable function (PUF). QDID harnesses quantum tunnelling current variations on standard silicon processes as its source of entropy to generate multiple immutable, truly random seeds.

Crypto Quantique announces QRoot Lite – a lightweight and configurable root-of-trust IP for resource-constrained IoT devices

Crypto Quantique announces a new lightweight root-of-trust (RoT) IP block to enable security feature implementation in resource-constrained microcontrollers and IoT devices. Called QRoot Lite, the implementation complies to the Measurement & Attestation RootS of Trust (MARS) specification developed by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) as a lightweight, hardware security IP block for measurement, storage and reporting to attest to the health and trustworthiness of embedded IoT devices and sensors.

Understanding the cybersecurity legislation that applies to connected devices

As our lives have moved online, so has a lot of guidance, regulations, and laws focusing on protecting the cybersecurity of connected devices. Looked at positively, these regulations can be a boon to embedded system developers because they represent a careful distillation of so much considered analysis and practical experience.
