Fast Quantum Safe Engine for ML-KEM (CRYSTALS-Kyber) and ML-DSA (CRYSTALS-Dilithium) with DPA

The Quantum Safe Engine (QSE) IP provides Quantum Safe Cryptography acceleration for ASIC, SoC and FPGA devices. The QSE-IP-86 core is typically integrated in a hardware Root of Trust or embedded secure element in chip designs together with a PKE-IP-85 core that accelerates classic public key cryptography and a TRNG-IP-76 core that generates true random numbers. For highly secure applications requiring additional protection against differential power analysis (DPA) attacks, a DPA version of the QSE is available.

The QSE supports the FIPS 203 ML-KEM and FIPS 204 ML-DSA standards. The embedded QSE core firmware allows the core functionality to be updated to adapt to potential future updates in the NIST specifications.
