We are very proud of the fact that they have selected the Codasip core as the basis for their offer because of our unique “design for differentiation” capabilities”.

Dr. Claude Cloutier, CEO of XtremeEDA, commented, “Both Crypto Quantique and Codasip people are great to work with. A great concern by many technology companies is how easily a technology can be integrated into their systems. We’ve proven unequivocally that their technology is easily integrated by incorporating it quickly into our technology demonstrator”, Cloutier continued, “We look forward to working with them well into the future on projects Securing Public Safety!”

About Crypto Quantique

Crypto Quantique has created the world’s most secure end-to-end IoT security platform. At its heart is the world’s first quantum-driven semiconductor hardware IP, called QDID, that generates multiple, unique, unforgeable cryptographic keys for devices manufactured using standard CMOS processes. The keys do not need to be stored and can be used independently by multiple applications on demand. When combined with cryptographic APIs from the company’s universal IoT security platform, QuarkLink, the solution creates a secure bridge between silicon, device, software, and solutions provider.

The company, which is based in London, UK, was co-founded by Dr. Shahram Mossayebi (CEO), an expert in cryptosystems, and Dr. Patrick Camilleri (VP Research & Innovation), a semiconductor designer with significant experience in complex parallel computer systems.
