Xiphera creates quantum-resilient security solutions for space
Summary
The development project is partially financed by the European Space Agency, as part of its General Support Technology Program (GSTP). The first released product is nQrux Secure Boot, available immediately for semiconductor and equipment vendors in space technology and other industrial and critical infrastructure sectors. “In addition to delivering first class cryptographic algorithms and security protocols, the technology we develop must be compatible with space-grade ASIC manufacturing processes. This benefit is emphasised particularly in space-grade applications, where software components typically require significantly more complicated validation and certification paths.” “The integration of Xiphera technology in our next-generation GR765 octa-core SoC provides the foundation to build systems that are resilient against cybersecurity threats” says Jan Andersson Nerén, Director of Engineering at Frontgrade Gaisler. We are looking forward to working with Xiphera to develop quantum-resistant secure IP cores for space processing chips, namely microprocessors and FPGA” says Roland Weigand from Microelectronics Section at ESA.
