The Post-Quantum Transition Has Started.
Is Your Edge Architecture Ready?
Hardware-anchored trust. FPGA agility.
Post-quantum resilience aligned with CRA.
The Regulatory Clock Is Ticking.
CRA. RED. IEC 62443. ETSI.
Industrial and connected devices shipped today must remain secure, updateable, and compliant for 10–20 years.
The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Radio Equipment Directive (RED) introduce stricter requirements around:
- Cryptographic agility
- Secure lifecycle management
- Verifiable resilience
- Post-compromise recovery
- Wireless cybersecurity enforcement
Static security architectures are no longer sufficient.
At Embedded World 2026, we present a proof-of-concept architecture exploring how FPGA-based adaptability and TPM-based trust anchoring can be combined to support post-quantum transition and regulatory alignment.
Exploring a Dual-Anchor Architecture
1- TPM-Based Root of Trust Concept
![]()
The architecture is designed to leverage a PQC-enabled TPM to provide:
- Standards-compliant secure boot
- Device identity and attestation
- Secure key provisioning and lifecycle governance
- Policy-based authorization
- Foundations for post-compromise recovery
This establishes the compliance-grade trust anchor required under CRA and related standards.
2- FPGA-Based Crypto & Resilience Layer
![]()
The FPGA platform demonstrates:
- Acceleration of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms
- Algorithm agility as standards evolve
- Runtime mitigation concepts (rollback protection, anomaly filtering)
- Field-updateable resilience logic
This adaptable layer enables performance and flexibility as cryptographic requirements mature.
Why This POC Matters
Modern edge platforms must balance three competing constraints: performance, long-term compliance, and cryptographic evolution.
This proof-of-concept explores how a SEALSQ hardware Root of Trust, whether powered by the QVault TPM or the Quantum Shield QS7001 Secure RISC-V , anchors device trust, while FPGA logic provides adaptable cryptographic execution and resilience mechanisms.
Trust remains anchored in principle — while security execution remains evolvable.
This architectural separation is essential for long-lifecycle industrial systems preparing for CRA compliance and post-quantum transition.

Is this aligned with regulation?
Yes. It supports emerging cybersecurity requirements such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and global post-quantum transition initiatives.
Is it commercially available?
Currently at PoC stage.
Customer feedback at Embedded World will guide next steps toward reference boards and productization.
Can customers evaluate it?
Yes. Discussions can begin now. A reference board is planned.
What role does SEALSQ play?
SEALSQ provides the hardware Root of Trust and executes PQC operations, including authentication of FPGA bitstreams.
How do FPGA and TPM interact?
Via standard secure interfaces (e.g., SPI / I²C).
The FPGA handles system logic; SEALSQ hardware anchors trust and cryptography.
Does it support hybrid cryptography?
Yes — classical and post-quantum schemes can coexist.
How is crypto-agility handled?
Through firmware update mechanisms allowing algorithm evolution over time.
Does it support secure provisioning and device identity?
Yes — including secure key storage, authentication, and remote attestation capabilities.
What about performance and power?
Hardware-accelerated PQC improves efficiency versus software-only implementations and preserves FPGA resources.
Are certifications targeted?
Yes. SEALSQ targets FIPS and Common Criteria certifications for its hardware platforms.
