Reprogrammable Post-Quantum Cryptography for SoCs
Field-upgradeable security without costly silicon re-spins
Securing Your Digital Assets
The fusion of QuickLogic’s cutting-edge eFPGA technology and PQSecure’s CRYSTAL-1000C Post-Quantum Cryptography solutions represents a groundbreaking approach to secure your digital assets. As the threat of quantum computing advances and the urgency of post-quantum migration intensifies, our partnership delivers robust, quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions that adapt to your evolving security needs.
With NIST’s transition timeline deprecating classical algorithms by 2030 and mandating completion by 2035, fixed-silicon cryptographic engines cannot adapt without costly re-spins. Our collaboration proves that reprogrammable solutions work seamlessly today while leaving the flexibility to adapt tomorrow.
