FIPS 140-3 Level 3

HSM PQC Module

A fully integrated Hardware Security Module combining post-quantum and classical cryptographic engines with tamper-resistant key management. Designed for FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification with automatic key zeroization, true random number generation, and a standards-compliant PKCS #11 management interface.

Multi-Algorithm Crypto

Post-quantum key encapsulation and digital signatures alongside AES-256 and SHA-3 classical engines in a single unified module — ready for hybrid and PQC-only deployments.

Tamper-Resistant

Hardware tamper detection mesh with automatic zeroization of all key material within 100 ns of a tamper event. Active voltage, clock, and temperature monitoring.

Standard Interface (PKCS#11)

Standards-compliant PKCS #11 hardware command processor for seamless integration with existing security middleware and enterprise key management applications.

Core Capabilities

The HSM PQC Module integrates multiple cryptographic engines, secure key storage, and a tamper-resistant boundary into a single hardened security core. Every operation executes in constant time with comprehensive side-channel countermeasures.

  • Multi-algorithm support — post-quantum key encapsulation, digital signatures, symmetric encryption, and hashing in one module
  • 64-slot secure key vault with hardware-encrypted storage and per-slot access policies
  • Tamper detection with automatic key zeroization triggered by voltage glitch, clock anomaly, or temperature excursion
  • True random number generator with certified entropy source for secure key generation
  • Hardware key management with key ladder hierarchy, key wrapping, and lifecycle controls
  • Side-channel countermeasures including masking, shuffling, and constant-time execution across all operations
