Quantum security for embedded systems
Embedded devices are tough to update, yet they can be essential information-endpoints in critical systems. Whether it’s communication across a battlefield, border control, or healthcare networks, these devices require essential, certifiable security, often deployed in a small memory footprint. With increased government and industry regulation for post-quantum cryptography, plus increasing connectivity in the world of IIoT and device management, it’s becoming essential to build high-security PQC in an ultra-small, flexible implementation that meets compliance requirements.
PQMicroLib-Core
PQMicroLib-Core is a FIPS 140-3 CAVP-ready post-quantum cryptographic library that’s tailored specifically for embedded systems on bare metal, or with real-time operating systems. It offers an extensive array of optimized PQC implementations alongside optional DPA protection, and it’s ideal for microcontrollers and IoT devices with strict memory, CPU and power constraints.
