The KiviPQC-Box is an IP core that combines the algorithms ML-DSA and ML-KEM into one single package. ML-DSA and ML-KEM are algorithms that are standardized by NIST as post-quantum algorithms defined in NIST FIPS 204 and NIST FIPS 203 and provide cyber secure protection against the threat of quantum computers. ML-KEM enables two parties to securely establish a shared secret key over an untrusted public channel and ML-DSA ensures the authenticity and integrity of signed data far into the future. It delivers complete protection against time-based side-channel attacks (SCA). The KiviPQC-Box is a self-contained, standalone module that integrates effortlessly into any SoC design. It includes a standard AMBA® AXI4-Lite interface for easy hardware integration and provides platform-independent C code, HAL, and API drivers to simplify software integration with the host processor.
