High-performance, ACVP-validated ML-KEM IP core for FPGA and ASIC architectures. Pure monolithic hardware RTL implementing full Key Generation, Encapsulation, and Decapsulation optimized strictly for area, power, and low mathematical block overhead.
NIST FIPS 203 defines the global milestone for secure asymmetric key exchange infrastructure.
Designed to shield communication layers against emerging quantum-tier computing attacks, Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanisms (ML-KEM) represent a complete migration away from legacy RSA and Elliptic Curve systems. Enforcing post-quantum protection is now a critical compliance priority for modern interconnected systems.
Vicip delivers a production-ready, highly optimized hardware implementation of the FIPS 203 standard. Built entirely from scratch with zero third-party block dependencies, our architecture closes timing aggressively, allowing seamless drop-in integration into embedded edge networks and space payloads.
Meticulously verified down to a single bit; successfully passes 100% of the official NIST Automated Cryptographic Validation Program internal projection vector suites across all processing paths.
Unlike alternative designs requiring external microcontrollers or hidden RISC-V blocks to handle loops, this engine is entirely self-contained. It eliminates separate processor firmware and execution taxes, running up to 50x faster via dedicated hardware state machines.
Consumes only 6 physical DSP blocks on standard FPGA fabric in its baseline profile and fits into a lean 12.7k LUT envelope, preserving high-value mathematical tiles for primary system applications.
Developed 100% from the ground up by Vicip. The entire architecture contains no black-box blocks or third-party dependencies, providing absolute structural transparency for rigorous security audits and simplified export compliance.
Our post-quantum public-key architecture features a flexible pre-synthesis configuration framework, enabling developers to customize the physical footprint and software agility to precisely match target system profiles.
Fully Production Ready & Validated for Delivery
Fully optimized for baseline quantum security, delivering the smallest possible silicon and memory footprint. Features localized temporal defenses in internal Keccak hashing lanes to elevate side-channel attack (SCA) resilience.
Hardwired Mid-Tier Quantum Security Profile
Statically instantiates a hardwired cryptographic matrix engine configured exclusively for standalone ML-KEM-768 (k=3) execution pipelines, removing resource dependencies associated with baseline operations.
Runtime Selectable Multi-Tier Acceleration
Instantiates a versatile cryptographic subsystem supporting both ML-KEM-512 and ML-KEM-768 execution loops. Shifting security thresholds is managed dynamically via integrated software configuration registers mapped directly onto the APB interface.
Integrate our low-overhead, hardware-accelerated VIC-ML-KEM-X IP to protect critical edge communication channels:
Validating or generating epistemic root key exchanges during low-power processor boot sequences before system resources load.
Securing high-priority V2X communication layers and electronic control unit (ECU) gateways against quantum-era interception.
Providing compact hardware acceleration that allows low-power, battery-operated units to securely negotiate TLS/DTLS sessions using quantum-safe handshakes.
Fitting the ultra-tight logic boundaries of radiation-tolerant FPGAs, enabling low-power CubeSats and deep-space payloads to mitigate "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" threats over open RF downlinks.
