PQSecure is an American cryptographic engineering company. We develop hardware IP, software, and secure system architectures for products that need to remain secure for years.
The mathematics matters. So do the details that determine whether it works in hardware, software, and the system around them. PQSecure brings those disciplines together in one engineering practice.
He earned his PhD in Computer Engineering from Western University and completed postdoctoral research at the Center for Applied Cryptographic Research at the University of Waterloo. Reza has authored more than 100 papers, serves as an editor for the cryptography track of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, and was a co-submitter of SIKE in the NIST post-quantum cryptography standardization process.
PQSecure grew out of Dr. Reza Azarderakhsh’s work in cryptographic engineering, protocol design, cryptanalysis, and secure implementation.
The company was built around a practical idea: strong cryptography has to survive contact with real hardware, constrained software, side-channel attacks, and long product lifecycles. That is still how we work today.

VP Commercial Development
Mike works across product security, silicon IP, and the path from technical capability to customer adoption.
His career spans cryptography, including post-quantum cryptography, silicon intellectual property, EDA ecosystems, product positioning, and customer engagement.
VP Engineering
Mehran works across pre- and post-quantum cryptographic engineering, with particular depth in secure hardware.
Before joining academia, he worked at AMD on secure ASIC design and cryptographic coprocessors. He is a faculty member in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of South Florida, has authored more than 100 articles, and serves as an editor for three IEEE Transactions journals.
Senior Cryptographic Hardware Engineer
Rami develops cryptographic hardware with a background spanning mathematics, programming, and embedded systems.
He earned his PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from Florida Atlantic University, where his research included cryptographic engineering and secure hardware implementations.
Senior Cryptographic Hardware Engineer
Bakry focuses on secure and efficient implementations of post-quantum cryptography.
He was an NSF/IPERF postdoctoral fellow and earned his PhD from George Mason University. His doctoral work examined lightweight and post-quantum implementations designed to resist side-channel attacks.
Senior Computer Engineer
Luke works on the boundary between cryptography, network security, and hardware/software co-design.
He holds an MS from Virginia Tech and a PhD from George Mason University. His work includes IoT security, lattice-based cryptography, and FPGA implementations designed for both performance and security.
Our team works in Boca Raton, Florida, where research and product engineering happen side by side. We build post-quantum technology for organizations that need clear answers, dependable implementation, and direct access to the people doing the work.
