Device Security Platform Speeds CRA-Compliant Development
Crypto Quantique's QuarkLink Hybrid PQC, a cloud-based quantum-driven silicon IP and an end-to-end security platform for embedded devices, accelerates the implementation of security functionality in embedded-device IoT networks and industrial PCs. Managing device identities while supporting secure boot as well as firmware-over-the-air updates, the platform enables the generation and management of security keys, digital certificates, and public keys so that embedded devices will comply with the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
CRA legislation states that products have to accept secure FOTA updates by September 11, 2026, with all other aspects of the act in effect by December 11, 2027. QuarkLink offers an end-to-end feature set to address cybersecurity from developers to CSOs. It integrates client libraries for various MCU families, supports Linux distributions in industrial PCs, and has recently been updated with a post-quantum cryptographic algorithm, while also protecting against “store-now/decrypt-later” attacks.
Crypto Quantique offers a family of lightweight root-of-trust silicon IP blocks and highly optimized cryptographic primitives. They're built upon the company’s physical unclonable function, QDID, and a quantum random number generator (QRNG), both of which are NIST compliant, PSA Level 2 ready, and CC EAL4+ compliant.
