Implementing Post-Quantum Cryptography on eFPGA Architectures
The joint white paper from Xiphera and QuickLogic scrutinizes the implementation of Xiphera’s xQlave® key encapsulation mechanism IP core ML-KEM on QuickLogic’s eFPGA architecture. Implementing post-quantum cryptographic IP cores, including key encapsulation mechanism, greatly benefits from eFPGAs. eFPGAs offer high performance, and their crypto agility enable the implementation of the PQC algorithms, or a hybrid scheme with both classical and post-quantum cryptography, for already existing applications.

FPGA-Based Security Solutions
An Intel White Paper, written in conjunction with Xiphera, explores the use of hardware-based security for the design of new IoT and Industry 4.0 equipment. Before reaching the full potential of Industry 4.0 and IoT, the security requirements need to be defined and carefully implemented. The white paper introduces the benefits of hardware and especially Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) regarding this matter.

Solving the Quantum Threat with Post-Quantum Cryptography on eFPGAs
The joint white paper from Xiphera and Flex Logix discusses implementation of PQC algorithms on eFPGA and how this can deliver tremendous advantages to SoC designers. Not only can it allow the updating of PQC algorithms according to their development status, but it also enables designers to combine PQC with traditional cryptosystems and existing crypto modules in order to protect against unlikely but possible failures of the new PQC systems.

Security with Timing Accuracy: PTP Support with MACsec IP Core
The O-RAN ALLIANCE aims to standardize open interfaces enabling multi-vendor Radio Access Network (RAN) deployments. Both the security of the open interfaces, specifically Open Fronthaul (FH), and the accuracy of timing information must be guaranteed. Both of these requirements can be met with Xiphera’s MACsec Intellectual Property (IP) cores when implemented on Intel® Agilex™ FPGAs.
