Problem
Current IoT devices rely on classical cryptographic algorithms that are vulnerable to future quantum computers, creating a long‑term security risk for connected systems such as smart homes, autonomous vehicles, and medical devices. The lack of quantum‑safe, crypto‑agile solutions that can be integrated into existing hardware and software hampers the ability to protect data now and as quantum capabilities mature.
Solution
PQSecure provides a hardware/software co‑design framework called PQSecure‑Agility that enables seamless integration of post‑quantum cryptography into existing IoT platforms. The framework is crypto‑agile, allowing devices to switch between classical and quantum‑resistant algorithms through a unified API. PQSecure‑Agility has achieved NIST CAVP validation for both its Rust cryptographic libraries and the overall solution, ensuring compliance with industry standards. By delivering validated, side‑channel‑resistant implementations, PQSecure helps manufacturers future‑proof their products without redesigning the entire device stack. The solution supports both silicon IP and software libraries, enabling deployment across a wide range of IoT form factors.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers of IoT devices—including smart‑home appliances, autonomous vehicle systems, and connected medical equipment—who need quantum‑safe security that can be added to existing hardware and software architectures.
