The KiviPQC-KEM represents KiviCore's cutting-edge approach to post-quantum cryptography, designed to provide robust security against both classical and quantum computing threats. This IP core supports the Module-Lattice-based Key Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM), aligning with the stringent standards set by NIST FIPS 203. By enabling secure key exchanges over untrusted channels, KiviPQC-KEM forms the cornerstone of future-proof network security solutions.
This IP core focuses on minimal logic utilization while delivering high performance and low latency through hardware acceleration. The integration of an AMBA AXI4-Lite interface ensures simple system inclusion, whether in ASIC or FPGA designs. The KiviPQC-KEM-Fast and KiviPQC-KEM-Tiny variants cater to different performance needs, optimizing either for rapid processing or resource efficiency.
Applications for KiviPQC-KEM include quantum-resistant network infrastructures, secure public key infrastructures (PKI), and transport-level security protocols like TLS/SSL. Its design supports a comprehensive set of operations including key generation, encapsulation, and decapsulation, making it an invaluable resource in the evolving landscape of cryptographic security.
