Quantum Safe Cryptography IP

Protection against quantum computer attacks using NIST and CNSA algorithms

Quantum computers will be able to rapidly break current asymmetric encryption, placing important data and assets at risk. Rambus Quantum Safe IP solutions offer a hardware-level security solution to protect data and hardware against quantum computer attacks using NIST and CNSA selected algorithms.

Rambus Quantum Safe IP products are compliant with the following draft FIPS standards:

  • FIPS 203 ML-KEM: Module-Lattice-Based Key Encapsulation Mechanism Standard, which is based on the CRYSTALS-Kyber mechanism
  • FIPS 204 ML-DSA: Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Standard, which is based on the CRYSTALS-Dilithium signature scheme
 

The products can be deployed in ASIC, SoC and FPGA implementations for a wide range of applications including data center, AI/ML, defense and other highly secure applications. Products are firmware programmable to allow for updates with evolving quantum-resistant standards.

Quantum computing is being pursued across industry, government and academia with tremendous energy and is set to become a reality in the not-so-distant future. Once sufficiently large quantum computers exist, traditional asymmetric cryptographic methods for key exchange and digital signatures will be broken. Many initiatives have been launched throughout the world to develop and deploy new quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms, known as Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).
