TechPulse take: Xiphera's nQrux Root of Trust introduces a hardware-based implementation of post-quantum cryptography designed to secure device identity and cryptographic keys against future quantum threats. By utilizing purely digital logic, this architecture eliminates vulnerabilities associated with traditional CPU or firmware dependencies while minimizing silicon footprint for resource-constrained environments like IoT and space systems. This development represents a significant step in hardening infrastructure against the impending shift from current encryption standards to quantum-resilient protocols.
Xiphera’s new chip builds a secure foundation with post-quantum crypto

Xiphera announces the launch of nQrux Root of Trust, the latest addition to its nQrux product family, providing a hardware-based foundation of trust for secure hardware systems. Developed as part of an ESA General Support Technology Programme (GSTP) project, the technology features Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) for quantum-resilient hardware security.
Xiphera launched nQrux Root of Trust on September 30, 2026, delivering a new hardware-based foundation for secure systems built with post-quantum cryptography. The intellectual property is designed for direct integration into custom application-specific integrated circuits and systems on chips, offering a streamlined path to enhanced security. Originally developed through an ESA General Support Technology Programme project…
