The world's first commercial cryptographic chip against quantum attack | Muchuang

2022 year 7 month 11 Japan , Anti quantum attack commercial cryptographic chip PQC 1.0 Light up smoothly , Support NIST^{* notes} stay 7 month 5 The pre winning algorithm just announced on the th will become the standard anti quantum attack algorithm .

PQC 1.0 It was first launched by Muchuang 、 Currently, the world's first model supports NIST Commercial cryptographic chip of the third round of winning Algorithm , It is of great significance to ensure information security in the era of quantum computing .

PQC 1.0 Have a unified agile computing architecture , It is a big step taken by Muchuang team in the field of anti quantum attack security ！PQC 1.0 The application effect of verifiable post quantum cryptography on the existing security platform , Assist customers in post quantum cryptography migration and provide development components , Help the industry to prepare for the migration of quantum attack resistant public key systems , Promote the rapid commercial application of the security system against quantum attacks .

Origin of core

2019 year ,Google Issued by the company 54 Qubit superconducting quantum computer “ plane tree ”, In a short span of 200s It can be completed in IBM Computing tasks that take 10000 years to complete on supercomputers ,Google Accordingly, the company claims that it has achieved “ Quantum hegemony ”.

2021 year , Constructed by the research team of University of science and technology of China 113 A photon 144 Model quantum computer prototype “ Chapter 9 No. 2 ”, It is the fastest supercomputer processing speed at present 1024 times , It realizes the fast solution of Gaussian wave color sampling .

thus ,“ Quantum hegemony ” Began to enter people's vision , And has been mentioned more and more frequently in recent years . By definition ,“ Quantum hegemony ” It refers to a quantum simulation system whose computing power for a specific problem exceeds that of a classical supercomputer .

from Shor Quantum algorithm can decompose large integers and discrete logarithms in polynomial time to solve complex mathematical problems , To Grover Quantum algorithm can reduce the search time of unordered database to the original square root time , Until then RSA-1024 and RSA-2048, Respectively in 13min and 50min It can be done by 480 and 966 Quantum computer breakthrough of 10000 physical quantum bits .

All these examples tell us ,“ Quantum hegemony ” Appearance , It brings increasingly urgent security risks to the field of cryptography .

therefore , Carry out the research of cryptographic algorithm with anti quantum attack ability in advance , And complete the update of cryptographic infrastructure before large-scale quantum computers enter practical applications 、 The upgrading of cryptographic technology system is particularly important .

Based on this , National security agency (NSA) As early as 2015 In, he began to call for switching to the anti quantum attack cryptosystem to deal with the security threat caused by quantum computers . and NIST（ National institute of standards and technology ） since 2016 year 12 Start collecting algorithm in August , After three rounds of screening , In the past 7 month 5 Japan ,NIST Announced four algorithms that have won in advance and will become the standard , At the same time, four additional algorithms for entering the fourth round have been announced . This battle in cryptography “ Top war ”, It is the prelude to the commercialization of anti quantum attack ciphers .

Mu Chuang's first generation of anti quantum attack cryptographic chip PQC 1.0 It is the product of this background .

As the first support in the world NIST Standard winning algorithm against quantum attack commercial cryptographic chip ,PQC 1.0 The chip has a unified agile computing architecture （one-fits-all）, At the same time, it supports superior encryption / Key encapsulation algorithm CRYSTALS-KYBER And digital signature algorithm CRYSTALS-Dilithium.

PQC1.0 use 28nm process , The chip area is less than 3mm², Power waste 150mW, The performance of anti quantum attack cryptographic algorithm is compared Apple M1、ARM Cortex-A72 Wait for the mainstream CPU The highest attainable 20 Times faster calculation , Improved energy efficiency 2 More than orders of magnitude . Besides , Muchuang also launched PQC Development board , At the same time, it supports the development of anti quantum attack password application scheme and commercial secret scheme .
