Building trust into hardware: nQrux® Root of Trust

A Root of Trust provides a trusted foundation for critical security functions, including device identity, cryptographic key protection and Secure Boot. By protecting the mechanisms these functions depend on, it helps establish trust in the device and the software it runs.

Xiphera’s nQrux® Root of Trust is implemented entirely in digital logic, without an embedded processor or firmware. Its Finite State Machine (FSM)-based architecture coordinates secure host communication, key and data protection, and cryptographic operations through dedicated hardware logic.

Our new guide introduces the role of Root of Trust in modern hardware systems and provides an overview of the nQrux® Root of Trust architecture and its key design characteristics.

CAVP-Validated Post-Quantum Cryptography

Quantum computers will eventually break today’s public key encryption, and attackers may already capture and store sensitive data to decrypt in the future. Critical information must be protected in advance, before quantum technology becomes widely available.
Xiphera offers cryptographic IP cores for FPGA and ASIC technologies.
