IP Cores

KiviCore develops IP cores for secure embedded systems across FPGA and ASIC platforms. All cores are designed and developed entirely in-house in Europe, ensuring full control, transparency, and a reliable supply chain. The portfolio covers essential cryptographic building blocks, including hashing, encryption, authentication, and post-quantum cryptography.

The IP cores are built for straightforward integration into embedded systems via a standard AXI4-Lite interface and are delivered with a complete package including HAL, drivers, and reference designs to enable fast deployment.

Beyond the IP itself, KiviCore supports customers with hands-on expertise in designing secure and compliant embedded solutions.

KiviCore IP Cores

KiviCore’s employees bring more than 20 years of experience in RTL and IP core development, including the design and productization of cryptographic IP cores.

Cost-efficient Licensing Model

Low license fees and free evaluation licenses make hash IP Cores 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 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 design teams transparency, control, and long-term planning security.
