Secure boot

Ensuring PQC protection during boot with PQPlatform

Secure boot 

Secure boot is a process that ensures a device boots with trusted software. Often hardware is required to boot quickly and safely, so that user experience is not affected and that the device is not compromised during the process.  When it comes to adding post-quantum cryptography, this can be a more a difficult balance to achieve.

PQPlatform-TrustSys

PQPlatform-TrustSys is a complete solution designed for PQC-focused root-of-trust. When it comes to secure boot, PQPlatform-TrustSys provides a fully programmable subsystem, including advanced post-quantum processing, bulk encryption and hash acceleration. It’s designed to carry support for legacy classical cryptography, based on ECC and RSA, and is able to integrate seamlessly with peripheral components.

PQPlatform-CoPro

PQPlatform-CoPro combines the power of PQShield’s lattice-based protection (PQPlatform-Lattice) with the efficiency of PQPlatform-Hash in a single product. It enables fast boot with LMS (hash-based), unconstrained signing (ML-DSA) and restricts an encrypted image to one key per device (ML-KEM).
