Altera brings quantum-resistant security to FPGAs
Altera now provides post-quantum cryptography (PQC) support for Agilex 3 and Agilex 5 FPGAs, helping strengthen system security. The FPGAs’ reprogrammable architecture enables designs to evolve as new threats emerge and security requirements and cryptographic standards change. The devices form a scalable platform for embedded and edge applications by combining performance and power efficiency.
PQC-enabled secure boot authenticates trusted device configurations while protecting long-life systems against future quantum-era threats. A Secure Device Manager (SDM) provides additional security capabilities, including bitstream encryption for IP, physical anti-tamper support, key management, physically unclonable function (PUF) keys, embedded cryptographic cores, and platform attestation.
The PQC-enabled Agilex 3 and Agilex 5 devices are shipping today. Quartus Prime Pro Edition 26.1.1 includes a PQC software flow that simplifies implementation of post-quantum security protections.
