We are thrilled to announce that PQSecure™-Agility, our comprehensive hardware/software co-design framework for crypto-agile security, has officially achieved NIST CAVP validation.
As the global transition to quantum-safe cryptography accelerates, the industry faces a dual challenge: implementing next-generation algorithms while simultaneously defending against sophisticated physical threats. PQSecure™-Agility solves this by delivering an optimized RTL hardware architecture controlled through a highly flexible software layer. This approach allows system architects to seamlessly balance performance, area, power, and security.
Why PQSecure™-Agility Matters
Standard compliance is only half the battle. In real-world deployments, cryptography must be hardened against implementation-level threats like side-channel leakage, timing attacks, and physical vectors.
Key capabilities of the framework include:
- Co-Design Architecture: A fully side-channel-protected hardware/software cryptographic framework.
- Hardware Acceleration: High-performance cryptography optimized for demanding workloads.
- Crypto-Agility by Design: Software-controlled flexibility to update algorithms as standards and threats evolve.
- Dual-Era Support: Out-of-the-box compatibility with both classical and post-quantum cryptographic primitives.
- Versatile Integration: Built for seamless deployment across embedded, FPGA, ASIC, and SoC platforms.
Look Ahead
This validation marks a major step forward in bringing secure, standards-aligned deployment to mission-critical systems. Stay tuned for our upcoming full product launch, where we will share deeper technical insights, supported algorithms, architectural options, and real-world deployment use cases.
