Hsinchu Taiwan -- July 8, 2025 -- PUFsecurity Corporation today announces that its proprietary post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms have officially passed the Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with validation ID #39639. The certified implementations include FIPS 203 (ML-KEM) and FIPS 204 (ML-DSA), two of the key post-quantum standards.
This milestone confirms PUFsecurity’s readiness to support the upcoming wave of quantum-resilient deployments with validated, deployable PQC IPs. These IPs provide dual-stack cryptography, supporting both classical and post-quantum schemes, making them ideal for SoC designers looking to future-proof their architectures.
PUFpqc is PUFsecurity’s flagship security architecture for the post-quantum era. It integrates NeoPUF, PUFtrng, high-performance PQC accelerators, and advanced memory architectures to fully support NIST PQC standards. With CAVP-certified implementations, PUFpqc enables secure boot, digital signatures, key exchange, and VPNs, scaling from automotive MCUs to IoT devices.
NeoPUF generates a unique inborn hardware key for each chip, forming the root of trust for PQC key systems. PUFtrng provides low-power, high-quality entropy sources, compliant with NIST SP 800-90 standards, ideal for protocols like TLS 1.3 or PQ-VPN requiring frequent key refresh.
To optimize performance, PUFpqc employs near-memory computing, co-locating PQC logic near high-speed SoC memory to reduce latency and power consumption, making it ideal for ML-KEM operations in resource-constrained or real-time environments.
NIST CAVP certification is a globally recognized benchmark that verifies algorithm correctness and tool compatibility, providing a foundation for future FIPS 140 module certifications. PUFsecurity’s successful certification reinforces customer confidence and regulatory compliance in adopting quantum-resistant encryption.
Following NIST’s official release of FIPS 203 and FIPS 204 in 2024, the global transition window (2025–2030) has begun. PUFsecurity’s validated PQC-ready solutions are positioned to lead this shift, aligning with migration guidance from NSA, ENISA, and ETSI to secure high-risk infrastructure through dual-stack and hybrid deployments.
PUFsecurity, a subsidiary of eMemory Technology founded in 2019, specializes in security IP solutions built upon Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) technology. Leveraging eMemory’s NeoPUF and OTP technologies, PUFsecurity is committed to helping global chip and system designers address the challenges of the quantum era and build a truly sustainable security foundation. Its product portfolio includes PUFpqc, PUFcc, PUFrt, and PUFhsm, providing scalable protection for the next generation of connected devices.
