Protect semiconductor design workflows against quantum computing threats. From PQC-encrypted GDSII and RTL file transfer to quantum-safe EDA license management, ML-DSA signed IP deliverables, and AI-powered detection of quantum-vulnerable cryptography embedded in RTL designs — securing every stage of the design pipeline.
ML-KEM encrypted transfer and storage of GDSII, OASIS, LEF/DEF, and RTL design files. Prevents quantum-enabled interception of proprietary semiconductor IP during handoff between design teams, foundries, and partners.
PQC-authenticated EDA license servers with quantum-safe token generation and validation. Eliminates the risk of license server spoofing, unauthorized tool access, and credential theft through quantum attacks on classical authentication.
Machine learning detection of quantum-vulnerable cryptographic primitives embedded in RTL designs. Automatically identifies RSA, ECC, and classical key exchange instantiated in hardware blocks before tape-out, enabling proactive PQC migration.
EDA tools and design workflows are the foundation of every defense semiconductor product. Design files — GDSII, RTL, netlists, and IP deliverables — represent billions of dollars in R&D investment and contain the most sensitive intellectual property in the defense supply chain. Every file transfer, license checkout, and IP handoff currently relies on encryption that quantum computers will break.
Adversaries executing harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks on design file transfers can eventually reverse-engineer classified ASIC designs, clone defense semiconductors, or identify exploitable vulnerabilities in silicon before it is even fabricated. EDA license server authentication and IP protection mechanisms built on RSA and ECC are fundamentally compromised in the quantum era.
