Infineon’s Quantum-Resistant Security Controller

Infineon Technologies is stepping up to tackle the impending quantum computing threat by launching the SLC27 security controller. This isn’t just about the usual encryption; it’s equipped with cutting-edge PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography) algorithms like ML-KEM and ML-DSA, wrapped within a Common Criteria-certified cryptography library. It’s part of the TEGRION series, leveraging Integrity Guard 32 architecture—quite the mouthful, but simply put, it’s a quantum-resistant powerhouse.

Why now? Quantum computers are on the horizon, likely to redefine the game of cryptography in the next decade. For devices with long lifespans, such as ePassports or IoT devices, adopting quantum-proof hardware isn’t just smart; it’s essential.

Securing the Future with Quantum Resilience

Thomas Rosteck from Infineon’s Connected Secure Systems believes we’re at a pivotal moment. As quantum power shifts from theory to reality, so does the necessity for post-quantum cryptography. Infineon’s SLC27 answers this call, offering a robust, easy-to-adopt security solution.

The SLC27 isn’t just about robust security; it’s about flexibility. OEMs can update this controller in the field, a feature known as crypto agility, ensuring they can address future security needs without overhauling existing setups. It shines in applications requiring both security and longevity:

• IoT Devices: Critical for devices like smart meters, expected to last a decade or more.
• eID and ePassports: Enhances security for government-issued identifications.
• Secure Elements: Ideal for protecting luxury goods, ensuring authenticity over time.

The SLC27 security controller, incorporating PQC, is now available for sampling and ready for bulk orders.
