The KiviPQC-DSA is an IP core implementing the ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-based Digital Signature Algorithm) a post-quantum cryptographic standard defined by NIST FIPS 204. Designed to withstand both classical and quantum computer attacks, ML-DSA ensures the authenticity and integrity of signed  data far into the future.

Supporting all ML-DSA parameter sets, the KiviPQC-DSA enables:

• Generate private/public key pair to create signatures and verify signed data
• 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)

The IP core offers dedicated hardware acceleration for the most computationally intensive operations, achieving high throughput and low latency while maintaining a compact logic footprint.

The KiviPQC-DSA IP Core delivers complete protection against time-based side-channel attacks (SCA). Engineered as a self-contained hardware/software co-design, the core integrates all ML-DSA functions and comes ready for seamless deployment. It includes AMBA® hardware interface for straightforward system integration and a generic software API for flexible control from the host processor.

Whether securing firmware updates, authenticating communication, or protecting critical infrastructure, the KiviPQC-DSA offers future-proof signature security for FPGA designs.
