Versatile Post-Quantum Cryptography IP Core for Balanced Performance, Area, and Power
FortifyIQ’s Post-Quantum Cryptography IP core provides a high-efficiency hardware solution supporting ML-KEM (Kyber) and ML-DSA (Dilithium) as standardized in FIPS 203 and 204, along with additional hash-based signature schemes including SPHINCS+, XMSS, and LMS. Designed for systems requiring a balanced trade-off between performance, area, and power, the IP delivers robust, quantum-safe key exchange and digital signature capabilities. Its scalable architecture supports integration into a wide range of SoCs, with built-in protections against side-channel and fault injection attacks to enable certification under FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria. Flexible interfaces and modular design ensure seamless adoption in future-ready, security-critical applications.
FortifyIQ’s Post-Quantum Cryptography IP is a flexible, high-efficiency hardware core supporting a wide portfolio of NIST-approved and standardized quantum-resistant algorithms, including ML-KEM (Kyber) for key encapsulation, ML-DSA (Dilithium) for digital signatures, and optional support for hash-based signature schemes such as SPHINCS+, XMSS, and LMS. Designed for systems with balanced performance, power, and area constraints, the IP is ideal for secure SoC integration in next-generation embedded platforms.
The architecture includes optimized engines for Number-Theoretic Transform (NTT) and modular arithmetic, supporting all defined security levels of ML-KEM and ML-DSA. For hash-based signature schemes, the IP leverages configurable hash acceleration and stateful signature logic to support SPHINCS+ (stateless), XMSS, and LMS (stateful) with minimal software overhead. This enables developers to select the appropriate post-quantum signature scheme based on lifecycle, certification, or application requirements.
To support secure deployment in high-assurance environments, the IP includes configurable countermeasures against side-channel and fault injection attacks. These protections help ensure the design is certifiable under FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria. FortifyIQ’s Post-Quantum IP is enabling SoC designers to adopt quantum-safe cryptography without compromising on efficiency, scalability, or security.
