Solution Brief
Protect long-lived PQC secrets without hardware redesign
The Challenge Embedded and IoT devices increasingly rely on long-lived private keys that must remain secure in the field for 10–20 years. With the transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), the risk profile is expanding.
Private keys are large and complex, meaning mathematical operations are computationally more intense, in turn leading to implementations that are inherently more exposed to side-channel attack (SCA). Edge devices are particularly vulnerable. Additionally, many brownfield devices cannot be redesigned or afford secure elements, despite constant security requirements. Because devices shipped today must survive the quantum transition window, there is a structural gap between deployable solutions and the required assurance levels.
