KiviPQC-KEM
Supports ML-KEM Algorithm a key encapsulation mechanism.
It acts as a secure handshake to agree on a shared secret across an untrusted network.
Security IP Cores
KiviCore develops IP cores for secure embedded systems for 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.
Beyond the IP itself, KiviCore supports customers with hands-on expertise in designing secure and compliant embedded solutions.
Cost-efficient licensing model
Low license fees based on one-time fee and free evaluation licenses make IP cores accessible even for projects with limited budgets.
Fast availability and direct support
Evaluation packages and documentation are available via download, with rapid responsive web support to keep your project moving.
Easy integration
AXI4-Lite interface, platform-agnostic C source code HAL, API and software driver and clear documentation enable fast integration into hardware–software co-design flows.
European technology
Developed in Germany, with predictable availability giving design teams transparency, control, and long-term planning security.
Experienced IP core providers
KiviCore’s employees bring more than 20 years of experience in IP core design and licensing of IP cores.
IP Core Evaluation Portal
Evaluating cryptographic IP is often difficult. Long time to complete NDAs, delayed deliveries, and incomplete documentation slow down technical decision-making. KiviCore addresses this with its IP Core Evaluation Portal.
Fast access to technical documentation
On the portal, you will find the design specification, a software user guide, a demo guide and an implementation manual for each IP core.
Free evaluation packages
You can access IP core evaluation packages for various FPGA platforms. Each package includes IP in netlist format, testbenches, integration examples, HAL, API and software driver in C source code.
Available IP cores
All IP cores within our portfoilio are available on the IP Core Evaluation Portal. Our IP cores are designed to be platform-independent and can therefore be made available for all FPGAs.
Access to support
Via the portal, you can access our web support, ask questions about the IP cores and receive support for the evaluation packages supplied.
