KiviCore’s employees bring more than 20 years of experience in FPGA development, including the design and productization of cryptographic IP cores.
Protecting embedded Systems today
Why classical crypto breaks under quantum computing
Algorithms like RSA rely on the difficulty of factoring large numbers into prime factors, a task infeasible for classical computers but dramatically accelerated by quantum computers. Once powerful enough, they could break today’s public-key encryption in hours or days.
PQC algorithms as mitigation
To counter this threat, NIST has standardized post-quantum algorithms, designed to resist both classical and quantum attacks, enabling long-term cryptographic security for embedded and connected systems.
Store now, decrypt later risk
There is a risk that attackers today will collect and store encrypted data until sufficiently powerful quantum computers become available. This would allow previously collected data to be decrypted retroactively, compromising long-term confidentiality.
NIST FIPS 203 ML-KEM and FIPS 204 ML-DSA
ML-KEM is a key exchange algorithm used to securely establish shared secrets over untrusted networks. ML-DSA is a digital signature scheme used to authenticate devices, firmware, and software, ensuring integrity and origin authenticity.
KiviCore IP Cores
Post-Quantum Security that fits into your FPGA
Designed for area-constrained FPGAs, KiviPQC IP cores use sequential architectures to minimize LUT, BRAM, and routing impact.
Cost-efficient Licensing Model
Low license fees and free evaluation licenses make PQC accessible even for mid-size FPGA projects with limited budgets.
Fast Availability and direct Support
Evaluation packages are available via download, with rapid responsive web support to keep your project moving.
Easy integration into FPGA SoC Designs
AXI4-Lite interfaces, platform-agnostic C source code (HAL + API), and clear documentation enable fast integration into hardware–software co-design flows.
European Technology with reliable Access
Developed in Germany, with direct access to evaluation packages and predictable availability giving FPGA teams transparency, control, and long-term planning security.
Reduce Integration Risk and Project Overhead
Clean interfaces, structured deliverables, and fast technical feedback help FPGA teams adopt PQC with lower implementation risk and predictable engineering effort.
