The Intel Pathfinder has selected Crypto Quantique’s QDID silicon IP block for RISC-V* integrated development environment. Enabling RISC-V cores and other IPs to be evaluated in FPGAs and simulator programs before committing to the final silicon design and fabrication, Intel Pathfinder is supported by industry-standard toolchains.
QDID has been independently verified and is the first security IP chosen for Intel Pathfinder. It is resilient against all currently-known cyberattack mechanisms and its analogue block measures random, quantum tunnelling current in the fabric of silicon wafers to produce high entropy.
Complemented by Crypto Quantique’s QuarkLink end-to-end IoT security software, QDID is easily integrated into the security framework of the RISC-V. The QuarkLink platform enables thousands of endpoint devices to be connected to on-premises or cloud servers automatically through cryptographic APIs.
Crypto Quantique’s CEO, Dr. Shahram Mossayebi, said, “QDID for Intel Pathfinder RISC-V* is further validation of our technology leadership in IoT security. QDID is easily integrated into the security framework of the RISC-V architecture and, just as Intel is helping democratize chip design with its Intel Pathfinder development environment, QDID and QuarkLink are democratizing semiconductor security by making it technically and economically accessible for the broadest possible range of applications.”
Vijay Krishnan, General Manager, RISC-V said, “The integration of Crypto Quantique with Intel Pathfinder demonstrates our commitment to addressing key end-user concerns like security at an early stage in the development process.”
Both the Intel Pathfinder is available in Starter and Professional Editions.
