PQMicroLib-Core
Highly optimizable baremetal PQC library in as little as 13kb RAM with option to include DPA protection
PQMicroLib-Core is a CAVP-Ready version of PQShield’s CMVP-certified PQCryptoLib-Core, tailored specifically for embedded systems running bare metal or with real time operating systems.
Design Space
Designed with flexibility in mind, the library offers an extensive array of optimized PQC implementations, allowing developers to fine-tune binary size, memory usage, performances and security against physical attacks such as DPA, template attacks, and deep learning attacks. All implementations are protected against remote attacks such as timing side-channel attacks, exploit of buffer overflows, and more.
