Configuration overview

Three things QCIM RoT does no other secure element does.

    01

    Physical attack resistance.

    Selectable masking logic, anti-tamper mechanisms, and hardware-isolated key storage.

    Prevents physical extraction and side-channel attacks through hardware-anchored countermeasures designed for hostile-environment deployment.

    EAL5+Cert path
    02

    Complete secure enclave.

    Robust secure boot chain, strong PUF, ECC integrity checks, carefully designed API.

    All-in-one RoT package with attention to API design that prevents misuse. Hardware-anchored chain of trust from boot through runtime.

    03

    Maximum resources available.

    QCIM Core engine enables more memory, compute, and features in smallest package.

    Compute-in-memory architecture maximizes available resources for certificate lifecycle management, intensive attestation, and large-payload PQC workloads.
