Problem
Hardware-based systems are vulnerable to both traditional and emerging quantum computing attacks, requiring robust cryptographic solutions. Existing cryptographic implementations may lack the performance and security assurances needed for critical applications in FPGAs and ASICs. Validating the security of these hardware platforms can also be a complex and time-consuming process.
Solution
Xiphera provides hardware-based cryptographic IP cores designed for implementation in FPGAs and ASICs, offering both traditional and quantum-resistant algorithms. These IP cores are implemented in pure digital logic to minimize the attack surface and facilitate rapid validation. Xiphera's solutions enable developers to secure critical systems against both traditional and quantum threats without relying on CPU or software components. The company's nQrux Hardware Trust Engines offer customizable cryptographic security modules with hardware-level trust and security services, ensuring full isolation of cryptographic operations and application-specific data into secure hardware elements.
