PQShield

PQShield is a cybersecurity company specializing in post-quantum cryptography (PQC). We’re aiming to deliver security and privacy in an increasingly digital world, protecting today’s technology from tomorrow’s attacks. With the advent of quantum computers being able to break traditional cryptographic defenses, we recognize the urgency for every industry to be ready for the quantum-age. PQShield began as a spin-out from the University of Oxford and has grown to become a world-class collaboration of leading cryptographers, researchers, and mathematicians. With teams in Europe, Japan, the US, and the UK, we’re the industry hub of expertise in post-quantum cryptography. We were the first company to develop quantum-safe technology on microchips, in applications, and in the cloud. Our aim is to empower organizations with the ultimate quantum-resistant, FIPS-ready cryptographic solutions - in hardware and software - updating the legacy cryptography components of the world's technology supply chain, and staying one step ahead of the attackers.

PQCryptoLib

Post-Quantum Software Library General purpose FIPS 140-3 certified cryptographic library for a wide variety of applications. PQCryptoLib is designed to provide the latest standardized post-quantum and classical algorithms in a software environment. With a configurable, secure and easy to use API, it’s optimized for crypto-agility, particularly when it comes to FIPS compliant hybrid solutions and protecting against harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks. The goal of PQCryptoLib is to help organizations transition to quantum resistance in a manageable, easy-to-integrate solution.

PQCryptoLib Embedded

Post-quantum cryptography library for memory-constrained platforms PQCryptoLib-Embedded is a version of PQCryptoLib, PQShield’s library of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, which is designed for microcontrollers or memory-constrained platforms. The library is highly configurable at build time, which means binary size and memory footprint can be minimized, making this product ideal for constrained devices. Efficiency is important in implementing ML-DSA and ML-KEM, especially for devices or networks requiring quantum-safe TLS communication such as in IoT environment. As a standard software library, PQCryptoLib-Embedded is a versatile tool for developing post-quantum protocols in memory-constrained situations.

PQPlatform SubSys

Post-Quantum Security Subsystem A cryptographic subsystem, designed to provide cryptographic services. These services include post-quantum signature generation, verification, and secure key establishment. PQPlatform-SubSys uses its built-in CPU independently from the surrounding system, allowing cryptographic services to be offloaded efficiently from the system processor.

PQSDK

Post-quantum Software Development Kit Provides easy-to-use software implementations of both post-quantum and classical cryptographic primitives. It’s designed with prototyping and experimentation in mind, consisting of an integration of PQShield’s PQCryptoLib library with two popular high-level cryptography libraries: OpenSSL and mbedTLS. OpenSSL: a widely-adopted secure-communication library mbedTLS: primarily intended for use in embedded system and IoT deployments

PQPlatform Hash

Post-Quantum Hardware Accelerator Power side-channel accelerator, supporting a wide range of Hash-Based Signature Schemes (HBSS). PQPlatform-Hash deploys tried-and-tested HBSS including quantum-safe LMS and XMSS (not hybrid). It provides acceleration of HBSS in embedded devices, especially where high throughput is required, or there’s a demand on signature verification. Hash-based signature schemes offer different trade-offs of memory/area to lattice-based, and as a result, PQPlatform-Hash is ideally suited for smaller key sizes, larger signature sizes, and processing times for key generation, signature generation and verification.
