We’re thrilled to announce that PQMicroLib-Core, our ultra-small cryptographic library, has officially achieved NIST CAVP certification.
This validation covers the new post-quantum standards ML-KEM and ML-DSA, alongside SHA-3 and SHAKE. Passing CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) means PQMicroLib-Core 1.3.0 has successfully passed rigorous vector testing, proving that our implementation flawlessly matches the federal standard. In the security world, it’s the gold standard of validation.
We designed PQMicroLib-Core specifically for severely memory-constrained environments, such as medical devices, automotive sensors, and smart grid components. With this certification, developers can now deploy quantum-safe defenses with absolute confidence that the underlying mathematics are reliable.
The future of security is post-quantum, and we’re proving it can fit anywhere.
