Xiphera collaborates with Agile Analog for Post-Quantum Cryptography challenge

June 17, 2026 --  Espoo, Finland -- Xiphera, the hardware-based cryptographic solutions expert, has announced a collaboration with Agile Analog, the analog security IP specialist. The integration of Xiphera’s digital cryptographic cores and Agile Analog’s agileSecure anti-tamper sensor IP creates a unified defense solution for the next generation of semiconductor security. This is particularly important as the industry transitions to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).

“Customers look for trusted technology partners that can provide solutions for multiple layers of security architecture,” says Tommi Lampila, CRO at Xiphera. He continues, “By combining our expertise, we are able to help our customers build comprehensive cryptographic and fault protection solutions for their semiconductor designs.”

According to Chris Morrison, VP Product Marketing at Agile Analog: “As the industry prepares for the post-quantum era, we can no longer afford to view digital cryptography and physical security as separate silos. SoC designers face an increasingly complex threat landscape, demanding security solutions that are both secure and easy to integrate. Our collaboration with Xiphera addresses this challenge. By pairing their cryptographic modules with our configurable process-portable analog security IP, we are giving customers a comprehensive defense solution and meeting the growing security and system-level protection requirements in modern semiconductor designs.”

Xiphera’s PQC algorithms offer essential, mathematically robust protection against future quantum threats. While cryptographic algorithms protect data and communications, semiconductor devices must also be protected against physical attacks and tampering. Combining Xiphera’s quantum-resistant cryptographic IP with Agile Analog’s anti-tamper sensor IP provides comprehensive security approach for modern semiconductor designs. Integrating Xiphera’s quantum-resistant digital logic with Agile Analog’s real-time analog glitch and tamper detection helps strengthen protection at both the digital and physical levels.

Chris Morrison from Agile Analog concludes: “A truly secure semiconductor design requires safeguarding both the digital and physical domains. Robust digital cryptography is the foundation of data protection, but further protections are needed against physical manipulation of the underlying silicon.   By combining Xiphera’s world-class cryptographic IP with our advanced analog glitch and tamper detectors, we eliminate these vulnerabilities. Together, we provide designers with a complete, multi-layered security subsystem that protects chips from both remote cyber threats and direct physical attacks.”
