Cryptographic requirements continue to change, but the devices protecting our most important systems may remain deployed for decades. QCIM was created to close that gap.
Born from Stanford research in 2021, QCIM reimagines how cryptography is implemented in hardware. Following its acquisition by BTQ Technologies, the team has continued developing QCIM into a commercially deployable platform for compact, agile cryptographic hardware.
The QCIM development team is a full-stack hardware security team composed of chip designers, embedded software developers, cryptographers, and security professionals.
