Classical Support with PQC
With the challenge of defending against the quantum threat, it’s possible that systems will require hybrid schemes which leverage both classical and post-quantum cryptography. For example, systems used for protecting sensitive government data, or handling financial transactions might rely on older encryption standards such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
AES is used in various security protocols and applications such as SSL/TLS, VPNs, disk encryption and others. As a cornerstone of modern cryptographic security, it might still be required alongside post-quantum cryptography for many years to come.
PQPlatform-SubSys
PQPlatform-SubSys is a complete subsystem that accelerates post-quantum and classical cryptography, and supports AES. Powered by a RISC-V processor, it’s a single solution with a powerful combination of NIST-certified PQC primitives such as FIPS 203 ML-KEM, FIPS 204 ML-DSA, as well as classical cryptography.
