Overview
Compact and Secure Post-Quantum Key Encapsulation SW Library for Resource-Constrained Devices
As classical asymmetric encryption and secure key establishment algorithms face obsolescence in the quantum era, embedded systems require quantum-resistant alternatives that balance performance, code size, RAM size, and power consumption. FortifyIQ’s ML-KEM SW library answers this need with a compact and efficient implementation of the ML-KEM key encapsulation scheme, enabling secure shared key establishment, standardized in FIPS 203 based on the CRYSTALS-Kyber scheme. Designed for secure SoC integration, it supports all security levels of the ML-KEM algorithm and incorporates comprehensive protections against side-channel injection attacks. The IP core is engineered to meet or exceed rigorous certification standards, including FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria, enabling future-proof authentication for secure embedded applications.

How to design secure SoCs Part IV: Runtime Integrity Protection
In previous articles, we gave an overview about secure SoC architectures (Part I), about the importance of key management (Part II) and secure boot (Part III) - the first line of defense. Part IV of the series focuses on runtime integrity protection, a paramount, ensuring the application remains secure even during active operation.
How to design secure SoCs Part IV: Runtime Integrity Protection
SoC designers are increasingly challenged to integrate robust security measures into their designs. Modern connected devices, such as automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs), Internet of Things (IoT) nodes, and industrial control systems, face increasing susceptibility to cyberattacks. This escalating threat landscape underscores the critical importance of mandatory security requirements.
Nine Compelling Reasons Why Menta eFPGA Is Essential for Achieving True Crypto Agility in Your ASIC or SoC
Today’s world is already overly complicated to provide robust product security, with extremely motivated hackers creating novel threats exposing new vulnerabilities every day. But considering tomorrow’s world with the looming threat of quantum computing, expanding AI possibilities and rapidly evolving regional regulations and export control risk with severe financial penalties, this is a daunting challenge.
Overcoming power management IP challenges
With modern chips, power management sits right at the core of the architecture. Between scaling down to advanced nodes and pushing for maximum performance-per-watt, managing power has become one of the most complex, high-risk parts of silicon design. Here is what engineering teams are actually dealing with.
