QCIM

QCIM is a soft IP cryptographic accelerator architecture that combines symmetric and asymmetric encryption engines into a compact, low-power block optimized for both classical and post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Designed for integration across a variety of process nodes, QCIM redefines secure element performance with cryptographic compute-in-memory (CIM) capabilities, crypto agility, and unmatched efficiency.

Key QCIM Features

  • Crypto-Agile & Reprogrammable

    The world's first reprogrammable, crypto-agile cryptographic accelerator. Seamlessly supports traditional algorithms like AES and ECDSA, and post-quantum standards including ML-KEM and ML-DSS (Kyber & Dilithium).

  • Soft IP for Seamless Integration

    Delivered as synthesizable soft IP, compatible with leading foundry nodes (TSMC 40nm, 28nm, GF 22FDX, and below) and off-the-shelf SRAM macros. Adaptable across process nodes for ASIC or FPGA deployment.

  • Minimal Area Footprint

    Fewer gates and SRAM than comparable PQ accelerators. Reduces die area, BOM cost, and improves thermal performance.

  • Compute-In-Memory (CIM)

    Cryptographic operations are executed inside the memory subsystem, reducing latency, power consumption, and data movement.

  • Ultra-Low Power

    Sub-microjoule energy usage per cryptographic operation. Ideal for constrained environments like smart cards, wearables, and edge devices.

Why QCIM?

  • Secure & Future-Proof

    Integrates post-quantum readiness with backwards compatibility. Ideal for long-lifecycle products with evolving security needs.

  • Smaller. Faster. Greener.

    Optimized for lower power and smaller die area than all known post-quantum cryptographic cores in-market.

  • Flexible Deployment

    Whether you're building secure MCUs, payment chips, or custom ASICs, QCIM adapts to your needs and roadmap.
