PQPlatform - Hash

FIPS 140-3 CAVP compliant ultra-fast, compact, and power efficient secure hash acceleration

PQPlatform-Hash is a power side-channel accelerator, supporting a wide range of Hash-Based Signature Schemes (HBSS). PQPlatform-Hash deploys tried-and-tested HBSS including quantum-safe LMS and XMSS (not hybrid).  It provides acceleration of HBSS in embedded devices, especially where high throughput is required, or resource constraints necessitate minimal additional area. For example, PQPlatform-Hash is a solution for secure first-stage boot loading with hash-based signature schemes. HBSS offer different trade-offs of memory/area to lattice-based schemes, and as a result, PQPlatform-Hash is ideally suited for smaller key sizes, larger signature sizes, and processing times for key generation, signature generation and verification.
