Quantum Compute-In Memory
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 Features
Key Features
- Crypto-Agile & Reprogrammable
- The world's smallest reprogrammable, crypto-agile cryptographic accelerator. Seamlessly supports traditional algorithms like AES and ECDSA, and post-quantum standards including ML-KEM and ML-DSA.
- Soft IP for Seamless Integration
- Delivered as synthesizable soft IP, compatible with leading foundry nodes (TSMC, GF, and more) and off-the-shelf SRAM macros. Adaptable across process nodes for ASIC or FPGA deployment.
- Minimal Area Footprint
- Delivered as synthesizable soft IP, compatible with leading foundry nodes and off-the-shelf SRAM macros. Adaptable across process nodes for ASIC or FPGA deployment.
- 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.
