Compact and Secure Post-Quantum Signature SW Library for Resource-Constrained Devices
As classical digital signature algorithms face obsolescence in the quantum era, embedded systems require quantum-resistant alternatives that balance performance, code size, RAM size, and power consumption. FortifyIQ’s ML-DSA SW library answers this need with a compact and efficient implementation of the ML-DSA signature scheme, standardized in FIPS 204 based on the CRYSTALS-Dilithium scheme. Designed for secure SoC integration, it supports all security levels of the ML-DSA algorithm and incorporates comprehensive protections against side-channel injection attacks. The IP core is engineered to meet or exceed rigorous certification standards, including FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria, enabling future-proof authentication for secure embedded applications.
