Chip: Hardware Quantum Resistance to Embedded Controllers 

Driven by advancements in cryptographic research and the need for stronger security measures, the National Security Agency (NSA) introduced the Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0 (CNSA 2.0) to establish a set of quantum-resistant cryptographic standards. The NSA is now urging data center and computing markets to become post-quantum ready within the next two years. To help system architects meet evolving security demands, Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) has developed its MEC175xB embedded controllers with embedded immutable post-quantum cryptography support.

“As the significance of potential, future attacks on cryptography using quantum computing is understood more widely, the cybersecurity landscape is already undergoing substantial transformations,” said Nuri Dagdeviren, corporate vice president of Microchip’s security products business unit.
