Hardware Trust Anchor

Quantum-Safe Root of Trust

The foundational security anchor for sovereign and defense-grade systems. Establishes an immutable chain of trust from first power-on through application runtime with post-quantum verified boot, hardware-fused device identity, and active tamper detection with instant key zeroization.

PQC Secure Boot

Post-quantum verified boot chain with anti-rollback protection ensures only authenticated firmware executes from power-on through application launch.

Immutable Identity

Hardware-fused device identity with post-quantum attestation provides a cryptographically unforgeable trust credential that persists across the entire device lifecycle.

Tamper Protection

Active tamper detection with voltage, clock, and temperature sensors triggers instant key zeroization within 100 ns, protecting secrets against physical attack.

Core Capabilities

The Quantum-Safe Root of Trust anchors the complete trust chain for your platform — from silicon power-on through secure runtime operations. Every boot stage is cryptographically verified using post-quantum algorithms, ensuring no unauthorized code can execute.

  • Post-quantum verified boot chain with signature verification at every stage
  • Hardware-fused immutable device identity with unique per-device credentials
  • Firmware integrity attestation with anti-rollback monotonic counter protection
  • Remote attestation protocol support for device integrity verification across untrusted networks
  • Active tamper detection and response with voltage, clock, and temperature monitoring
  • Instant key zeroization on tamper event (< 100 ns latency)
  • Secure key provisioning and lifecycle management with hierarchical key derivation
  • Layered trust architecture with compound device identifiers isolating trust boundaries
  • Hardware entropy source for true random number generation
  • Secure debug access control with authentication and privilege levels
  • Over-the-air firmware update with post-quantum verification and staged rollback
  • Monotonic counters for replay protection across boot and runtime operations
