Quantum-Safe ASIC Design Services

Protect the IC supply chain from hardware trojan insertion, counterfeit chips, and quantum-era provenance attacks. From PQC-PUF combined device authentication to AI-driven trojan detection with quantum-safe chain of custody.

PQC-PUF Authentication

Combined post-quantum cryptography and Physical Unclonable Function technology for silicon-level device identity that resists both classical and quantum forgery attacks.

QS IC Provenance

ML-DSA signed chip manufacturing chain of custody ensures every IC can be traced from fabrication through packaging to deployment with quantum-safe integrity.

AI Trojan Detection

Machine learning detection of hardware trojans combined with PQC-verified supply chain signatures for trusted ASIC design and manufacturing assurance.

Why ASIC supply chains are vulnerable

Modern IC supply chains span global fabrication, assembly, and test facilities. Classical cryptographic signatures used to authenticate chips and track provenance will be broken by quantum computers, enabling undetectable counterfeiting and trojan insertion.

Harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks can compromise chip provisioning keys today for future quantum decryption. Hardware trojans inserted at untrusted foundries become invisible when supply chain integrity relies on quantum-vulnerable cryptography.

  • IC supply chain attacks exploit quantum-vulnerable authentication
  • Hardware trojan insertion undetectable without quantum-safe provenance
  • Counterfeit chips bypass classical cryptographic verification
  • Chip provisioning keys vulnerable to harvest-now-decrypt-later
  • Manufacturing chain of custody relies on breakable RSA/ECC signatures
