Quantum-Safe Security IP Cores

Hardened silicon-level security IP for quantum-safe defense systems. Complete NIST PQC IP portfolio including key encapsulation, digital signatures, hardware root of trust, quantum random number generation, and crypto-agile engines — all delivered as licensable IP cores for FPGA and ASIC integration with AI-optimized key lifecycle management.

Complete PQC Suite

Full NIST-standardized IP portfolio: ML-KEM (FIPS 203), ML-DSA (FIPS 204), SLH-DSA (FIPS 205), and HQC for algorithmic diversity. Licensable cores covering lattice, hash-based, and code-based PQC schemes.

QS Root of Trust

Hardware-anchored Root of Trust with PQC secure boot, authenticated firmware updates, and hardware attestation. The trust foundation for every quantum-safe defense platform built in silicon.

Crypto-Agile Engine

Runtime algorithm-switching cryptographic engine for seamless quantum migration. Hot-swappable PQC algorithm selection without system downtime, ensuring long-term resilience against evolving threats.

Why all existing security IP is quantum-vulnerable

Security IP cores are the core domain — every defense SoC, FPGA design, and embedded processor depends on them. ALL existing security IP using RSA, ECC, or Diffie-Hellman for key exchange, authentication, or digital signatures is fundamentally broken by Shor's algorithm on a cryptographically relevant quantum computer.

This is not a future concern but a present-day engineering requirement. Hardware IP cores have 10–20 year deployment lifecycles in defense systems, meaning silicon taped out today without PQC support will be quantum-vulnerable for its entire operational life. Every security IP block in every defense ASIC and FPGA must transition to post-quantum algorithms now.

  • RSA/ECC-based secure boot IP broken by Shor's algorithm
  • Classical key exchange IP (ECDH, DH) fully compromised by quantum attack
  • Hardware Root of Trust using RSA/ECC attestation rendered insecure
  • HSM cores with classical-only key management are quantum-vulnerable
  • All digital signature IP (RSA, ECDSA) forgeable with quantum computers
  • Defense SoCs taped out today without PQC will be vulnerable for 10–20 years
  • CNSA 2.0 mandates PQC transition for all national security systems by 2030
