About KiviCore

Who we are

KiviCore is a young deep-tech company based in Dresden, Germany, specializing in securing embedded systems. We develop security IP cores and tailored security solutions that make FPGA-, ASIC-, and microcontroller-based systems both secure and efficient. Our mission is to transform complex technologies into solutions that are easy to integrate and use.

Alongside our own products, we support companies securing ASIC-, FPGA-, or microcontroller-based systems. We analyze designs, identify vulnerabilities, and develop customized security concepts, which we also implement directly. In addition, we help our customers efficiently meet regulatory requirements, such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

KiviCore was founded by Dr. Frank Deicke and Dr. Andreas Weder, who bring more than 20 years of experience in developing embedded systems and IP cores for FPGA and ASIC integration. With our deep expertise, flexibility, and innovative strength, we deliver solutions that make a real difference in the security of tomorrow’s technologies.
