Satellite links are often considered inherently secure due to their distance and specialized infrastructure. In reality, this assumption no longer holds. Sensitive data from critical infrastructure, enterprises, in-flight connectivity, and even government systems is increasingly transmitted over satellite networks without sufficient protection. At the same time, satellite communications are becoming a target for both cyber and geopolitical actors.
As quantum computing advances, discussions around the future of cryptography are becoming increasingly common. In many conversations, one message is often heard: in the future, only quantum-safe cryptography will be needed. While quantum computing does introduce real risks to certain cryptographic systems, the reality is more nuanced. Future secure systems will not solely on a single “quantum-safe” algorithm. Instead, they will continue to combine multiple cryptographic technologies.
The indirect industrial participation project between a Finnish consortium and Lockheed Martin, related to the F-35 Program in Finland, is progressing as planned. Crosshill, DNV Cyber, Habilito, and Xiphera together with Lockheed Martin have reached the halfway point in a technology project that develops highly secure electronics for defense applications and builds cybersecurity testing laboratories with state-of-the-art capabilities.
2025 was a year that strengthened Xiphera’s position in hardware-based cryptography and delivered clear, steady progress. Our direction remained clear: to build a scalable and internationally focused business around hardware cryptography, delivered as Intellectual Property (IP) cores and security protocol engines for ASICs and FPGAs, and designed without hidden software elements.
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 Ltd and iWave Global have entered into a collaboration to combine Xiphera’s advanced cryptographic solutions with iWave’s extensive portfolio of Altera FPGA-based boards and solutions.
Cybersecurity and cryptography company Xiphera has received funding from Business Finland to develop innovative hardware-accelerated cryptographic technology. The project will run for 18 months with a total budget of €460,470.
Xiphera, a Finnish deep-tech company specialising in hardware-based security, has entered into a strategic partnership with South Korea–based Austin Electric Co., Ltd. This collaboration will extend Xiphera’s advanced cryptographic IP core solutions to a broader customer base in South Korea, especially in the aerospace, industrial automation, critical infrastructure, IoT, and automotive sectors.
The Finnish cybersecurity company Xiphera is participating in a three-year national research project Beyond the Limits of Post-Quantum Cryptography (BLimPQC), led by VTT. The project aims to protect Finnish society from cybersecurity threats posed by quantum computers. With a total budget of €6.3 million, the initiative has been  launched in April 2025 by VTT in collaboration with Finnish universities, public authorities, and companies.
