Building trust into hardware: nQrux® Root of Trust

- Xiphera Ltd
November 12, 2026

A Root of Trust provides a trusted foundation for critical security functions, including device identity, cryptographic key protection and Secure Boot. By protecting the mechanisms these functions depend on, it helps establish trust in the device and the software it runs.

Xiphera’s nQrux® Root of Trust is implemented entirely in digital logic, without an embedded processor or firmware. Its Finite State Machine (FSM)-based architecture coordinates secure host communication, key and data protection, and cryptographic operations through dedicated hardware logic.

Our new guide introduces the role of Root of Trust in modern hardware systems and provides an overview of the nQrux® Root of Trust architecture and its key design characteristics.
