Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) IP core
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) IP cores are hardware-based solutions designed to protect semiconductor devices and SoCs against threats from quantum computers. With the rapid advancement of quantum computing, traditional encryption methods like RSA and ECC may become vulnerable. PQC IP provides quantum-resistant cryptography, ensuring that sensitive data remains secure both today and in the future.
Integrating a PQC IP core allows chip designers and semiconductor companies to future-proof their products, meeting the growing demand for secure and compliant embedded systems.
What Is a Post-Quantum Cryptography IP Core?
A Post-Quantum Cryptography IP core is a pre-designed, pre-verified hardware block that implements quantum-resistant encryption algorithms. These algorithms are specifically engineered to withstand attacks from quantum computers while maintaining high performance, low latency, and low power consumption.
Common features of PQC IP cores include:
- Quantum-Resistant Encryption Algorithms: Lattice-based, hash-based, code-based, and multivariate cryptography.
- Secure Key Generation and Management: Hardware-based generation and storage of cryptographic keys.
- Authentication and Digital Signatures: Ensures integrity and non-repudiation for sensitive communications.
- Low-Power and High-Performance Implementation: Optimized for embedded systems, SoCs, and IoT devices.
PQC IP cores are fully verified for hardware integration, making them reliable for secure SoC and ASIC designs.
