FortifyIQ Secure RoT with Post-Quantum Cryptography
Datacenter-class SoCs such as CPUs, GPUs, DPUs, and NVMe controllers require a trusted hardware foundation to ensure firmware integrity, secure boot, and confidential computing. Building on the open-source Caliptra Root of Trust (RoT), FortifyIQ extends its capabilities by replacing the entire cryptographic subsystem with a proprietary engine that supports both classical and post-quantum algorithms.
Equipped with FortifyIQ’s efficient, patented countermeasures against side-channel and fault injection attacks, the RoT delivers robust, certifiable cryptography with quantum-resistant security. It enables secure attestation, identity management, and protection against advanced physical threats, making it a forward-looking solution for the next generation of datacenter-class devices.
FortifyIQ’s Secure RoT builds on the open-source Caliptra Root of Trust (RoT) project, enhancing it with a proprietary cryptographic subsystem that supports both classical and post-quantum algorithms. The subsystem implements asymmetric and symmetric cryptography, including ECDH, ECDSA, RSA, AES, SHA-2/3, HMAC, and NIST-approved post-quantum signature schemes, ensuring compliance with FIPS 186-5, SP 800-56A, and NIST PQC standards.
The architecture integrates FortifyIQ’s patented, high-efficiency countermeasures against side-channel and fault injection attacks, such as masking, input randomization, integrity checks, error-detection codes, memory scrambling, and timing-invariant logic. These protections, deployed across all FortifyIQ products, provide resilience against advanced physical threat models. As with Caliptra, the RoT secures datacenter-class SoCs by verifying firmware integrity, enabling secure boot, attestation, identity management, and confidential computing for CPUs, GPUs, DPUs, and NVMe controllers. The design supports flexible integration into ASICs and SoCs through standard interfaces, and comes with HAL and software libraries to simplify deployment.
Validated against advanced attack vectors, the Secure RoT is engineered to meet or exceed all assurance levels of FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria, ensuring long-term, certifiable security for next-generation datacenter-class devices.
