Now, Infineon Technologies is offering a Common Criteria-certified cryptography library with the PQC algorithms ML-KEM and ML-DSA for the SLC27 security controller. The SLC27, a member of the TEGRIONsecurity controller family and built on the Integrity Guard 32 security architecture, allows OEMs to include quantum-resistant security into their designs by supporting standardized PQC implementations across a variety of applications.
The SLC27 is suitable for applications where long device life and high security requirements demand quantum-resistant protection:
- IoT devices: Industrial sensors, smart meters, and control units often operate for ten to twenty years. The SLC27 allows such devices to remain protected against future quantum attacks throughout their operational lifetime.
- eID and ePassports: Government-issued ePassports and national eID cards with a typical ten-year validity can be future-proofed by integrating the SLC27, maintaining protected identification and border control systems.
- Secure Elements and brand protection: Secure Elements and brand protection solutions for luxury goods, health care devices and consumables benefit from PQC- enabled SLC27 to resist tampering and counterfeiting over the long term.
A robust and security-optimized hardware platform is crucial for post-quantum cryptography since it is a radically new class of cryptographic techniques that involves a wide range of intricate operations.
Built on top of the Integrity Guard 32 security architecture, the SLC27 security controller offers a strong basis for putting high-performance PQC into practice while being superbly shielded from fault and side-channel assaults. Additionally, the controller facilitates crypto agility and in-field updates, allowing OEMs to implement PQC-ready hardware now and adjust to future needs without having to replace existing devices.
Within the next ten years, it is anticipated that quantum computers will grow sufficiently strong to undermine many of the current encryption techniques, endangering a variety of systems. Therefore, post-quantum cryptography (PQC)-ready hardware is already required for long-lasting goods like ePassports, Internet of Things devices, and Secure Elements.
Leadership Comments
“At Infineon we know that quantum computing has the power to change the world because we are innovating in this field, too,” says Thomas Rosteck, Division President Connected Secure Systems at Infineon. “As quantum capabilities move from theory to reality, post-quantum cryptography is an urgent, practical necessity — and Infineon is leading the industry in delivering certified, easy-to-adopt quantum-resilient security that helps accelerating quantum resistance for crucial applications.”
