Quantum-Safe FPGA Platforms

Protect FPGA bitstreams, configuration chains, and on-chip intellectual property against quantum computing threats. From PQC-encrypted bitstream delivery to AI-powered configuration integrity monitoring with quantum-safe security across every FPGA platform layer.

PQC Bitstream Encryption

ML-KEM key exchange combined with AES-256 encryption for FPGA configuration bitstreams, preventing quantum-enabled interception and reverse-engineering of proprietary FPGA designs and defense IP.

QS Secure Boot

ML-DSA signed authentication chain for FPGA bitstream loading, ensuring only verified and untampered configurations are accepted by the FPGA fabric during power-on and reconfiguration cycles.

Crypto-Agile Suite

Runtime-switchable PQC algorithm support for FPGA platforms, enabling seamless migration between post-quantum algorithms as standards evolve without hardware replacement or full redesign.

Why FPGA platforms are vulnerable

FPGAs are the backbone of reconfigurable defense electronics, powering radar signal processing, electronic warfare receivers, communications encryption, and sensor fusion. Their bitstreams contain critical defense intellectual property — and every configuration transfer uses encryption that quantum computers will break.

FPGA bitstream interception enables adversaries to reverse-engineer classified signal processing algorithms, clone defense hardware, or inject malicious logic into reconfigurable platforms. Configuration spoofing and IP theft represent existential threats to FPGA-based defense systems in the quantum era.

  • FPGA bitstream interception and reverse-engineering exposing classified defense IP and algorithms
  • Configuration spoofing enabling adversaries to load malicious logic into defense FPGA platforms
  • Intellectual property theft through quantum-enabled decryption of bitstream encryption keys
  • Supply chain attacks exploiting quantum-vulnerable authentication in FPGA programming flows
