KiviPQC-Box Overview
The KiviPQC-Box is an IP core that combines the algorithms ML-DSA and ML-KEM into one single package. ML-DSA and ML-KEM are algorithms that are standardized by NIST as post-quantum algorithms defined in NIST FIPS 204 and NIST FIPS 203 and provide cyber secure protection against the threat of quantum computers. ML-KEM enables two parties to securely establish a shared secret key over an untrusted public channel and ML-DSA ensures the authenticity and integrity of signed data far into the future.
With both algorithms implemented in KiviPQC-Box you can:
- Generate digital signatures to verify data integrity and detect any unauthorized modifications of signed data
- Ensure authenticity by proving that a digital signature was created by the stated signer (non-repudiation).
- Securely establish a shared secret key over an untrusted public channel that creates the foundation for encrypted communication
