The chip implements two PQC schemes simultaneously for redundancy, includes an on-chip true random number generator, adds countermeasures against power side-channel attacks on the most vulnerable operations, and incorporates early fault detection for voltage glitches. The result is 20–60x better energy efficiency compared to prior PQC implementations, with a compact footprint suitable for edge devices beyond biomedical applications. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
