Hard IP and firm IP cores purpose-built for custom defense silicon. ASIC-based quantum-safe solutions deliver the highest security assurance, tamper resistance, and lowest size, weight, and power across every defense domain — from space-grade PQC accelerators to missile-qualified QRNG fuze initiators.
Dedicated ASIC implementations with hardware anti-tamper mesh, active shield layers, DPA/SPA side-channel countermeasures, and fault-injection protection. Highest assurance level for classified defense programs.
Purpose-built silicon eliminates FPGA overhead, delivering 10× lower power, 5× smaller die area, and deterministic latency. Critical for battery-powered, man-portable, and embedded defense platforms.
Radiation-hardened and high-reliability qualified ASIC solutions meeting MIL-STD-883, QML-Q/V, and DO-254 DAL-A certification requirements for space, missile, and safety-critical avionics applications.
Application-specific integrated circuits represent the gold standard for defense-grade cryptographic implementations. Unlike FPGAs, ASICs provide deterministic performance, minimal attack surface, and silicon-level tamper resistance that cannot be reconfigured or probed by adversaries.
ASIC solutions are essential where size, weight, and power budgets are absolute constraints — guided munitions, satellite payloads, dismounted soldier systems, and implantable secure elements. Hard IP delivery ensures that PQC algorithms execute in constant time with verified side-channel resistance at the transistor level.
