Why Xiphera?
Independent cryptography vendor, trusted in space missions
Space missions operate under unique constraints – long lifetimes, strict launch schedules, and harsh environments. Xiphera delivers hardware-based cryptography designed to meet these challenges, ensuring secure communications from launch to end-of-life.
Protecting Satellite Systems with Cryptographic IP cores
Comprehensive Portfolio
A complete offering for all aspects of secure communication in space.
Mission-ready Performance
Fixed launch windows, long system lifecycles, and high-speed links demand solutions free from software bottlenecks.
CPU-free Efficiency
Optimized IP cores designed for compact, low-power hardware, enabling high-performance cryptography in satellite systems.
Post-Quantum Security
Standards-based Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) extends system security throughout long life cycles.
Deep Cryptographic Expertise for Space
- All our products are developed in-house by our team of cryptographers and digital design engineers, with no outsourced or acquired components.
- Xiphera provides close and responsive expert support to keep your project on time and hit your strict launch schedules.
Our Solution to Meet Space Mission Demands
We deliver hardware-based cryptography that ensures satellite communications remain secure, reliable, and future-proof.
Qrux® Secure Boot
Ensures processor startup security by verifying the authenticity and integrity of binary images. Uses a hybrid quantum-resistant signature scheme (ML-DSA) with ECDSA fallback to protect against both classical and quantum threats. Designed for space-grade architectures.
TRNG
The True Random Number Generator (TRNG) IP core generates high-entropy, true random numbers for secure communications and cryptographic operations. Compatible across FPGA and ASIC architectures, it meets NIST standards and supports protocols such as TLS 1.3 and MACsec.
AES-GCM
The AES-GCM IP cores provide data confidentiality and authenticity for satellite to ground station communications. In-house designed and CAVP-validated, they deliver extreme-speed performance of hundreds of Gbps and are optimized for both FPGA and ASIC implementations.
