Cryptographically Agile Secure Hardware for Post-Quantum Acceleration

BTQ CASH is a soft IP cryptographic accelerator architecture that combines symmetric and asymmetric encryption engines into a compact, low-power block optimized for both classical and post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Designed for integration across a variety of process nodes, BTQ CASH redefines secure element performance with cryptographic compute-in-memory (CIM) capabilities, crypto agility, and unmatched efficiency.

Key BTQ CASH Features
Crypto-Agile & Reprogrammable

The world’s first reprogrammable, crypto-agile cryptographic accelerator. Seamlessly supports traditional algorithms like AES and ECDSA, and post-quantum standards including ML-KEM and ML-DSS (Kyber & Dilithium).

Compute-In-Memory (CIM)

Cryptographic operations are executed inside the memory subsystem, reducing latency, power consumption, and data movement.

Soft IP for Seamless Integration

Delivered as synthesizable soft IP, compatible with leading foundry nodes (TSMC 40nm, 28nm, GF 22FDX, and below) and off-the-shelf SRAM macros. Adaptable across process nodes for ASIC or FPGA deployment.

Ultra-Low Power

Sub-microjoule energy usage per cryptographic operation. Ideal for constrained environments like smart cards, wearables, and edge devices.

Minimal Area Footprint

Fewer gates and SRAM than comparable PQ accelerators. Reduces die area, BOM cost, and improves thermal performance
